Dashboard and airbag covers including dash are badly cracked, airbag safety is potentially compromised if deployed. The car is available for inspection at my residence at any time. Toyota offered to supply and replace dash covers to fix this danger, but parts were never made available. The hazard remains.

On 10/25/18 I was involved in a head on collision when my gas pedal hung and lurched forward while I was pulling into a parking space at a doctor's office. I had slowed down to park when my car jumped the curb and hit the building head on. It was 3:50 in the afternoon and a clear visibility day. The police report has my speed at about 20 mph. My airbag didn't deploy, I did have my seatbelt on. It was straight front end damage to my car. As a result of the impact I am suffering from whiplash and possible (traumatic brain injury), also neck and back pain. I believe that the cause of this accident was the gas pedal 'sticking' and as a result of no airbag deployment causing more motion on my head, neck, and back.

September 13, 2017 my daughter had a wreck. She ran off the side of the road and overcorrected running into several culverts and a ditch slamming into a utility pole almost dead center of the car. Doing the speed limit of 55 or less none of the air bags deployed nor did the seat belt lock causing her to slam her chest into the steering wheel and hit the rear view mirror with the left side of her face. Why did these air bags not deploy and seat belt not lock ?

The airbag on the drivers side near floor upon impact broke my ankle. The auto hit on the passengers front side. The accident happened when I tried to avoid hitting a cat and hit a telephone pole.to the best of my knowledge the impact should not have been so severe as to break the ankle causing a plate, rod, and several screws to be placed in the ankle, both sides had stitches approximately 8 to 12 inches. Now recently I had to have some of the hardware removed, causing me to lose more time from work. I have complete set of pictures of auto and surgery.

Was driving on beltway in Washington, DC. Another vehicle was driving at a high rate of speed in an attempt to merge on the beltway when he clipped my vehicle. My vehicle spun around on beltway and hit guardrails at high rate of speed twice. Both front and back bumpers were completely torn apart in addition to huge dent in driver's side door. Front or side airbags did not deploy.

Car was in park with engine running and airbags in driver's seat and roof deployed when driver's door was shut. Made numerous attempts with Toyota to repair and have had no success in getting this done. Vehicle was taken to a Toyota dealership on 11/13/14 to have diagnostic readings and was told we would be notified within 30 days by legal department. I have made numerous attempts at getting answers but have not had any success.
