Involved in a hit and run car accident on 01/23/2017 where I was rear ended by a vehicle driving approximately 60-70 mph. I was stationary at 0mph on th highway waiting on traffic to clear up.the hit from the unidentified driver caused me to hit my head on the steering wheel ( seatbelt didn't work) and rammed me into the car in front of me, contacting the right front of my car with the rear left side of the car in front of me. Airbag did not deploy. The unknown person that hit me tried to leave the scene and hit me again as he didn't make it all the way around me causing me to swing and hit my head again ( seatbelt did not work again) pictures show evidence of 2 license plate indents on the back bumper. I have thus sustained injuries from the accident and at this time am still undergoing treatment for a head concussion, and bulging disc in my neck. The vehicle was determined to be a total loss or also known as a totaled vehicle.

Takata inflators (possible) the car was in an accident. My wife rear ended another vehicle and there was a good amount of front end damage. She was not sure about the exact speed. She was driving on interstate 95 in West haven ct in clear weather but fairly heavy traffic. The thinks the speed was between 25 to 35 mph. The damage it the front end was enough to declare the car a total loss. The damage went all the way to the engine block. Most of the airbags did deploy. The drivers side steering wheel and knee airbags deploy, however, they did not inflate. The side airbags and curtain airbags deployed but only some inflated or partial inflated. I spoke to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they said it was strange. So I reported it to Toyota and they are going to inspect the vehicle. During my initial conversations with Toyota corporate office they too said it does not seem correct. They are going to inspect the care with a week. I am not sure what to make of their inspection and I want to make sure they are fair. Luckily no one was hurt in the accident. But I do think the issue needs to be looked at. The car is currently at a body-shop but the insurance company will be taking possession for salvage.

My airbags are no longer working in my 2014 Toyota Corolla and want some sanders. I have last than 60K miles on this car. The dealership is telling me my VIN number is on the list with www.NHTSA.gov as well as the dealership. There are other website that indicates their problems with Toyota vehicle with the airbag frontal sensor control module. Fix this complaint for me, because if I'm in accident wig no airbags I'm died.

The Corolla moving at about 35 mph on a 3 lane road hit another car that was stopped at a yellow blinking light in the rear, the Corolla's impact was on the left front side first so on a slight angle to the rear of the stopped car so it did not hit squarely. The seat belt did not function and the female driver of the Corolla hit her head on the window and her right knee hit the under dash, her weight is about 110 lbs. And small body frame. The air bags also did not function there is around $9000 damage to the car so this was not just a small collision. I have attached a pdf file with photos.
