While stopped in traffic, I was rear-ended by a vehicle. I hit the vehicle in front of me and that vehicle hit the one in front of it. The airbags did not deploy. My passenger's head hit the windshield even though she was wearing a seatbelt (the interior design required me to have the seat positioned quite close to the windshield).

December 26, 2013- going east on warner rd. At 45 miles per hour from kyrene and warner. Minimal traffic on the road. At warner and bullmoose a car did not stop at the stop sign at bullmoose to pull out onto warner. I hit the camaro, t-boned him. My air bags did not go off, my seat belt tightened, then popped off of me at some point during the crash. I just know that when I stopped and pulled over my seat belt was off. That concerned me a lot. That was the first thing I noticed when I came to a stop! The gentleman that I hit said it was his fault and he had a broken rib, but other than that said he was okay. I hurt and was bruised across my shoulder blade, and chest. I had my toyota tacoma towed to power collision center that toyota uses. I went into to them and told them my concerns about the seat belt popping. They said they did not see anything wrong with it, that maybe my sweater was caught up in it. First of all, I was not wearing a sweater! And I am very strict about my seat belt and others in my vehicle that they are properly seat belted! At times the seat belt did not tighten when I applied the brakes. I think just to humor me they replaced the driver's seat belt. Then he said they get worn with being connected and unconnected many times. My question is why do we not know that we should replace our seat belts, like we do our tires. I am very concerned about my seat belts in my toyota tacoma.

I was driving on the freeway and a car was in a accident, the vehicle was on its side. The owners of the car had got out to safety, but had to leave it to protect themselves. It was a black or very dark colored. With in this time of my passenger and myself in my 2004 toyota truck had come upon it to fast to stop. It was a split decision and reflex to slam on my brakes. Other cars where around and I had no other choice but to hit head on. I was doing about 65 miles an hour and slamming on my brakes did little to avoid or lesson my reduction of speed. Thank god my passenger and I had on our safety belts. My truck comes with air bags and was listed as a good production of vehicles with safe and quality protection in an accident. I love my truck. I was not protected as LED to believe. My air bags did not deploy. My truck is beyond questionable of my impact they should have deployed. I barely have a front portion of a bumper. Engine was smashed into my cab practically. Fenders caved in. Totaled.... I need help understanding this. I need to be insured that toyota would not let this be overlooked. Im asking for this and maybe other safety issues to be handled and taken into to serious concern. It might be with this model truck only.
