On August 19, 2026, due to my seizure, my car hit another car, then fence, and finally trees in a backyard. I had fractures in my brow bone, breast, ribs, and backbone because of the hit. My wife and daughter in the back seat also had serious injuries. The side airbag came out but front airbag didn't. The malfunction of front airbag risked my and my families' life.
I was in an accident going approximately 35 mph. The car was deemed a total loss after inspection. There was damage to both left and right bumper, hood and pretty much the entire front of the car crumpled. The airbags did not deploy at all. I believe they failed and should have deployed
The steering wheel clockspring ribbon was worn down in the middle, resulting in an open circuit of the SRS. The wear is between the ribbon and inside wall of the container that houses the ribbon. It appears to be a designing flaw or manufacturing defect. The wear was discovered by tearing down the clockspring unit. Airbag light on the dashboard was lit in November 2023. Replaced the clockspring unit on 2/17/2024. Without fixing the problem, the airbag on the steering wheel does not function when needed.
The sunroofs have a drain which sometimes can plug up. This car was maintained several times a year since purchase by Toyota dealer. When the drain plugged up this fall, water backed up and came down inside of the passenger compartment on top of the electrical fuses, body computer. The leak IS NOT DETECTABLE by owner or occupant. But when it manifests itself, it does so with the Blind Spot Monitor failing randomly, the seat belt warning lights might or might not work, the airbag safety system fails, sometimes the whole instrument dash acts erractic including random on/off blinking, the tire pressure monitoring system fails. All these problems can occur before owner is ever aware of the problem. Since one of the items that is getting corrosion is a fuse block - potential fire while parked in a garage or while being drive is a possibility. …
While pulling into my driveway at approximately 0-5 MPH I put my foot on the brake pedal to park in front of my garage door/brick wall and I was unable to stop. The pedal went directly to the floor and the car accelerated forward into the brick wall. After hitting the brick wall, the car bounced back off the wall a few inches. All airbags deployed and I became hysterical. The fumes from the air bags were throughout the car. I was screaming and crying at the same time. I was able to put the car into park and found my cell phone on the floor which fell from my purse and called 911. I was unable to reach the door handle to get out of the car. I was able to open the sun roof and started screaming for help. After a few minutes my neighbor came running and opened the driver's door from the outside and I slid out under the airbag and dropped to the cement on my behind.
