I bought a 2007 Camry hybrid from autoland (springfield, NJ) in 2007, VIN [xxx]. recently I was in an auto accident (August 25, 2010) in which I hit a car in front of me. I don't have the exact speed of the impact but I would estimate it was 25-35 mph. The resulting impact resulted in a total wreck of the car (photos available). However, the airbag did not deploy despite the force of the impact being substantial enough to total the car. I was injured in the accident, with injuries which include a cut on the forehead from hitting the windshield and neck soreness. The car was recently serviced by Toyota, so teh the airbag system should have operated properly. Records available from the dealer. I was the only person in my car. No one else was injured. My insurance company suggested I contact Toyota, I had a very hard time reaching them and they do not have a email or web based way of filing these issues. When I finally spole to a representative, they claimed that the aribag functioned as designed. Apparently the rate of deceleration is factored into decision to deploy. I was breaking for about one second when I hit and despite my velocity at impact ( 25 to 35 mp), the fact that I was slowing down was a decision factor not to deploy. I am an engineer and quite frankly I am surprised with this criterion for deployment. The person on the phone at Toyota could not elaborate further.

In 2007, I purchased a new 2007 Toyota Camry from tejas Toyota in humble, tx. On or about August 18, I got my vehicle serviced at the dealership. They performed a multi-point inspection, oil change, tire rotation, and checked fluids. Vehicle was rendered in good working condition. Approximately one week later, while approaching an intersection in downtown houston, I saw the vehicle in front of me begin to come to a stop. I saw the light turn red and I had plenty of room to stop. I applied the brake, but nothing happened. My tires did not squeal, my car did not decelerate at all, but I did not spin or veer off in any direction. I almost attempted to go around the vehicle stopped in front of me, however, that would have left me in the middle of oncoming traffic in an intersection. I knew that could result in a possibly worse situation, so I held down the brakes and just prayed that my vehicle would stop. As a result of this vehicle failure, I hit the vehicle in front of me directly in the rear end of their Mercedes Benz SUV. Strangely, my airbags did not deploy. This too greatly concerns me. Luckily no one was seriously hurt, however, it caused approximately $9,000 in damage to my vehicle and I have medical bills over $600. My car was fixed! ridiculous! unfortunately, now I am scared to drive my vehicle and I cannot recover my damages from my insurance company.

Airbag failure - 2007 Camry le. I bought this car new due to its airbag safety claims - 7 airbags with one to protect the driver?S legs. None deployed. I traveled on the highway 50-55 mph, a safe distance from the car (BMW) in front of me at rush hour on a sunny dry day. A car cut in front of the BMW causing it to brake instantly, almost coming to a stop. Deceleration was too quick. I went straight into the BMW at full speed. There was no time to hit my brakes. My car didn't"T swerve or dive. I wore my seatbelt but leaned forward slightly while firmly in my seat. My chest struck the steering wheel causing an inward displaced spiral fracture of my sternum. I also sustained a large groin bruise with an internal blood clot and chest bruise due to the seatbelt. Immediately I had difficulty breathing, got out of my car, lied on the pavement to catch my breath. Police/ambulance came quickly, provided oxygen, took me to a hospital. I remained in intensive care for 2 days. The insurance inspector & body shop investigated the car and were surprised the airbags didn't't deploy and couldn't find a reason why the airbags didn't deploy given the damage. The right airbag sensor was bent. My car was deemed totaled. I"M unable to return to my previous work schedule (long hours, intense workload) due to constant pain. I missed 2 weeks of work. Due to the fracture I cannot drive for 6 weeks. I requested that Toyota evaluate the car to determine if it was a vehicle-specific defect or the entire line (to prevent future injuries). Instead of disassembly and computer analysis, Toyota only reviewed photos and said it functioned as expected." The vehicle was totaled and the impact straight on and high speed. If not sufficient to activate the airbags, then what's their purpose? the vehicle is in storage for examination. Police reports and photos available. I would greatly appreciate NHTSA's response to this report.
