I was going about 40 mph on the Taconic Pkwy over the amvet bridge in the far left lane of the highway. Traffic was heavy and slowing down. It had st finished raining. I was hit on the rear right rear side by a F150 truck that caused me to slide into the guard rail on the left side of the road. The car spun out of control and slid three lanes and hit the guard rail on the right side of the road. Both front sides over the tail lights and the entire front were badly damaged. The side airbags activated but the front airbags failed to activate. Because of this failure I was badly injured. My head hit the steering wheel. I was not protected by the seat belt. My passenger and I had to be cut out of the vehicle. My neck sustained a dislocated disk and I still have pain going from my left shoulder, down my arm, into my hand. I suffered a permanent loss of vision in my right eye, a concussion and lacerations to my left hand and rear scalp. My iris in the right eye was severely damaged and still needs to be surgically repaired. I have suffered both physical and mental damages because of the failure of the seat belts to restrain me and the failure of the airbags to inflate.

The contact complained about a 2011 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated that while the driver was driving about 60 mph, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle in front which stopped abruptly. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock in place (stayed loose). There was no warning. The driver sustained injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The contact who was an independent mechanic stated that the vehicle was totaled. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Wow! it just keeps getting better!! %&*@* Highlander has more safety problems.... 24,988 miles; Sunday, Oct 26, 2014 our youngest sons seatbelt (2nd row passenger behind driver seat) would not release; causing him to panic and nearly choke himself to get out. I had to yank, pull and tug to get the belt to release. This is not the first time this has happened including not being able to get it to click and stay buckled. So, besides a vehicle we can't drive far to not risk getting stranded because of reported engine malfunction issues (Toyota motor sales, U.S.a., Inc. Expressed clearly: 'oh well, too bad, your screwed, good luck!), the lie of a cover up extended warranty never received and now we can't use the 2nd row passenger seat behind driver due to seat belt not working properly. What's next?? I can only imagine with all the recent Toyota recalls.

Front passenger seat belt stock. Do not release. It cannot be use. Toyota care center said is out of guaranty and I have to pay just to verify it. What about safety?
