Takata recall it was a regular Wednesday morning drive to my office. I was in highway 101 N and in the motion of approx 30mph due to traffic. Suddenly at around 8am, due to the traffic ahead I had to brake my car. My car was halt at a safe distance from the car ahead of me when I heard the emergency beep of my car and while I was being confused as to why the beep went off because my car was at a safe distance of the car ahead of me, my car was severely hit from behind.the impact was so severe towards the trunk that my car was dragged forward such that the front of my car went onto hit the back of the car that was at a safe distance from my car.this was followed by shift of my car from the second lane where the impact took place to the third lane of the highway. My car was totaled because of this accident. During this accidental event my front car and back car both air bag deployed except my car air bag didn't get deployed and because of this I went through serious multiple injuries causing some long term bodily damages.

My car was struck by a car spinning out of control mainly the drivers side door center post and rear door. I think the car is totaled. The passenger rear wheel is bent from the impact. None of the air bags deployed. The police officers that worked the accident was astonished. He said they should have deployed. My car was moving about 15mph the car that hit mine was spinning very fast. The roads were slick and it was raining. The impact was about 40 to 60mph at least.

I was driving home on hamilton road, in columbus, Ohio, at 535pm. I noticed that my headlights weren't on, when other drivers were trying to worn me. I set my headlights on automatic when I first received the car. I finally found the switch to turn my headlights on manually. Then my car started to brake 10-15 feet from the car in front of me, my tires were squealing. My foot was not on the brake pedal it was still on the accelerator. It was too late I hit the SUV in front me. My air bags didn't deploy. The accident avoidance system didn't activate until to late. It is clear that the car responded after the headlight switch was manually turned on instead of being in the auto position. It was suggested at a dealership earlier that cycling the navigation system on the car could inadvertently disarm it. If that were the case and it was off accidently why did the car try to brake at the last second on its own by turning on the headlight switch. This car was purchased for the driver for the very reasons of its safety features unfortunately this car completely failed to protect the driver. That is why I feel like this should be looked at immediately to see if this is a mechanical issue, program issue, or simply driver error, which I do not believe at this point. I have photos of vehicle and interior which I am unable to upload on this site, they are available upon request.

The cars takata lateral airbags activated after hitting a bump on the side of the road while going uphill. I had driven to the side of the road to avoid an accident with an invading vehicle and I do not feel that the bump the wheel had hit was that strong to activate the lateral airbags. I had contacted my local dealer for assistance as I have a full cover and they have not proved useful at all. Two months later my car is still at a workshop as they have not been able to receive the new airbags to install on the car and I've been without a vehicle because the full cover does not cover a rental. I would not recommend a purchase of any Toyota vehicles because of the bad support and experience I have had with them since they even refused to accept my car after I had brought it to them for assistance the day the airbags went off.

My wife was driving the car on I95 from South to North (after exit 6 in pa) towards philly airport on 7/22/2017 and the car was hit at the rear by another car. Car was span and stopped. Thank to god that she is ok. However, the car was totaled by the insurance. Our concern was no airbag deployed. Our collision center as well as Toyota doesn't know why. Need your help as well as it should not happen to someone.
