I had a collision with another vehicle and my car was totaled by the insurance company as there was major front end damage and no air bags deployed. The first reaction of three law enforcement officers, body shop owner, and insurance adjuster was the same, "I can't believe the air bags didn't deploy." This is not a play for money, but a request for help, if there is a product problem. I was not injured because I was wearing my seat belt and it worked. The car is still available for inspection but will be turned over to hartford insurance as early as today.

I think I experienced a surge in my 2006 Toyota Avalon. I was not sure but people observing that did not stay and wait for police said my car raced forward after stopped at a light. I ended up steering to the right and hit a tree rather than the car ahead or pedestrians. When the police and tow truck arrived they indicated that my airbag should have gone off, but it did not.
