Takata recall: I first found out about this recall in February 2016. It is now the end of August 2016. How long are Toyota and takata going let their customers drive in vehicles in which one of the key safety features (my air bag) could cause a worse injury than the accident itself?

I was involved in an accident where a driver T-boned my vehicle on the drivers side, the drivers side door took the worst damage along with the roof molding, fender and quarter panel, state farm declared the car a total. I called Toyota and open a case because the air bag sensor number 3 in the owners manual in the drivers side door did not deploy, I sent Toyota 12 pictures with the damage and the door was the worse, the rep assigned to my case was in complete denial and said that sensor would not have deployed the airbag even if I were killed! he just washed his hands with my case and ran me around about the door sensor and why is it there if it doesn't work is my question. Should I seek legal council or just let Toyota off the hook? don't think its fair to us consumers.

On February 11, I took my 2009 Toyota Matrix to motorcars Toyota of cleveland heights, Ohio, to have the car repaired in the gas pedal recall. While there, I was informed of another recall on the car, on its brakes. Both of these issues were address and I picked the car up on February 13th. On February 24 at 7:45am, I was driving westbound on I-90 in westlake, Ohio; it was snowing and the roads were wet, unsalted. As I was rounding a corner near the crocker bassett exit, my car began to skid. I immediately began to pump the brakes and attempt to straighten my car out, but the brakes did not engage. I firmly pressed down on the brakes and nothing happened; I then tried the emergency brake and the car still did not slow down. I was unable to regain control of the vehicle and it began to spin out and to the left. I pumped the brakes as hard and fast as I could, but the brakes never engaged and my car hit the cement median at 55mph. Due to a build up of snow and ice against the median, my car was propelled into the air and landed on its roof. My airbags did not deploy in the crash.

Toyota accident I drive a leased 2009 Toyota Matrix. At 8:24 am on November 16, 2009. Pulling into a parking space at the doctors office building boca raton. The car was almost stopped and my foot was on the brake, when the car revved up to the maximum, jumped the curb and hit a palm tree. I immediately switched off the engine. I was dazed, and after a couple of minutes I got out the car to see the damage. Having heard of car mat problems, I inspected the mats, but nothing was out of place. After a few minutes, I went to my doctors appointment, but had to leave before I saw the doctor, as I didn't feel well. Despite a lot of front end damage, the car was drivable, so I decided to drive the car to my home, but I was frightened all the way as I thought the car might do the same thing again in traffic. When I got home I called allstate and reported the accident. I told them there is a problem with the car, as it accelerated by itself, and the driver side airbag did not inflate.. per instructions from allstate, the car has been towed to ed morse Cadillac for repair of the damage incurred. My question is, can I legally break my lease and return the car to Toyota, as it is unsafe.. updated 05/25/10 updated 07/29/10 updated 12/21/10.
