What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" Sear, safety belt, airbag and the speedometer 1.The driver side seat was powered by electricity, it moved forward by itself during the crash. However, the car battery was destroyed and caught on fire as soon as the crash happened. 2.The airbag might have a delayed deployment, which caused my right eye rupture. 3.The speedometer stopped at 93mph however the crash data retrieval report shows its 75 mph. The vehicle is available for inspection since I still have the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I suffered right eye globe rupture, basically lost my right eye. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not that I know of. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No.

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at 75 MPH, the vehicle drove over an unknown object on the roadway, and then veered to the left when she lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle drove to the median and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle crashed into the guardrail and then rolled over into a ditch. The front windshield and the driver's and passenger's side front windows were shattered, and the driver's side front door was jammed. A bystander used a crowbar to break the driver's side front window and pulled the contact's daughter out of the vehicle. The air bags were not deployed upon impact. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter received medical attention for body aches. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 146,708.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

On March 18, 2020 I was driving on a highway on a steep grade during a winter storm and was part of an accident that involved hitting the guard rail causing my car to spin out and sustain a total loss of damage. Luckily I received no injuries but it was brought to my attention due to the extent of the damage that the airbags should have deployed and they did not. The vehicle is being held in a lot in case it needs to be examined. Toyota has stated they are not going to examine the vehicle unless they can also access the edr.

My vehicle's accelerator behaved oddly when my vehicle would not slow done. Instead my vehicle accelerated faster resulting in my vehicle becoming involved in a collision. It also has me very concerned that my airbags never deployed given the severity of my accident due to the speed at which my vehicle reached.

Airbag symbol was lit showing on my dash. I called Toyota service department, and they told me to bring my car in. After inspection, they told that a spring had broken, and that my airbag would not depoy in an accident. Cost to replace spring was over $500. I called Toyota to see if I could get some help with problem. Was told that they could not help me. My wife and I are living on a fix-income, and $500 is out of the question. I just saw a recall on a Toyota land cruiser, with what I think is the same problem with the airbag. We don't feel safe driving this car with faulty airbag. Part needed is a sprial 84306-06150 clock spring.
