2001 Toyota Avalon surged forward with the accelerator stuck in the depressed position resulting in a collision with three parked cars in a busy mall parking lot. Thanks to a snowbank and the impact of hitting the three cars, the vehicle came to a stop without injuring the driver or anyone else. The air bags also did not deploy.

I hit a large steer at night while accellerating from a stop. Impact was severe and resulted in a total loss of the car. The air bags did not deploy. Was told by dealer that because the initial impact with the steer was his legs and little resistance was not enough to trigger the air bags. The severity of damage to front end, hood, and roof made me wonder if another sensor would be appropriate higher up which would trigger the air bags. Your opinion and comments would be appreciated.
