I had an accident on 1/14/24 and the airbags did not deploy. When we bought the vehicle from I-5 Toyota it had been in a previous accident and was repaired. I have a picture from the dash stating -?? SRS air bag system malfunction-?? on the day of incident. The vehicle is being picked up by insurance 1/18/24 to be inspected. There were no warnings prior to the accident.

I turned my car to park in the church parking lot. I believe my foot was on the brake, it happened so fast, I am not sure.. all of a sudden the car began to accelerate on it's own! it scared the daylights out of me! suddenly the car jumped through a wooden fence and off a five foot drop off to the street below. I was lucky there was a pile of gravel to stop me. I put it into park.the airbags did not go off. I was not hurt. But I am very stressed by the incident. It will be a month before it is fixed.
