THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFUL THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED BUT WAS HELD TOGETHER DUE TO TINE ON WINDOW. OUTSIDE MIRROR SHATTERED AND GLASS CAME INTO CAR.

SO FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUMPER AND PASSENGER SIDE RECEIVED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WHICH MADE THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE FORCEFUL HIT AND BEING PUSHED ONTO THE SIDEWALK INTO THE TELEGRAM POLE, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IN THIS VEHICLE THERE ARE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHICH I FEEL SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE (1998 DURANGO). WOULD LIKE SOME RESEARCH DONE BEFORE I TAKE FURTHER CIVIL ACTION IN REGARDS TO THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS.

LAST YEAR I GOT INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHICH I BELIEVE WAS CAUSED BY BRAKE FAILURE ON A NEW 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA LE VEHICLE I HAD PURCHASED. I INFORMED BOTH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE CRASH THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE WRONG WITH MY BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL. IT BEGAN TO VEER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND SWERVING ON THE HIGHWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I WAS NOT INTOXICATED, TEXTING OR DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL, SIMPLY ON MY WAY TO WORK.NO ONE TOOK MY COMMENT SERIOUSLY. ANYWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL, I RECALL PRESSING THE BRAKE ONE MORE TIME TO STOP THE SWERVING AND THEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL AND BEGAN TO FLIP OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND CLIPPED ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT THEN FLIPPED OVER A FEW MORE TIMES CRASHING UPSIDE DOWN INTO A WALL. I THEN RECEIVED A CITATION FOR "IMPROPER LANE CHANGE". I WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS ENGAGE IN RECKLESS OR ERRATIC DRIVING ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF ANYONE AND ESPECIALLY NOT MY LIFE! I WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET TO WORK AND PRIOR TO THIS I HAD NOT HAD ANY "AT FAULT" ACCIDENTS ON MY RECORD AND I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR THAT THESE MOTOR VEHICLE COMPANIES, SPECIFICALLY TOYOTA, CAN GET AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND IN THE END IT IS THE CONSUMER THAT MUST PAY THE CONSEQUENCE. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I EVEN GOT OUT OF THIS ALIVE AND UPON CALLING SEVERAL ATTORNEYS RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND ALL THE WAY UNTIL NOW, BECAUSE I AM NOT DEAD OR SERIOUSLY INJURED THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO FOR ME! *TR

I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG SENSOR. MY WIFE AND A CO-WORKERS WIFE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT SEVERELY DEFORMED THE FRONT OF A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA WITHOUT TRIGGERING THE AIRBAG SENSOR. UPON INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THAT THE PORTION OF THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO, MOVED OVER A FOOT AND A HALF WITHOUT TRIGGERING THE AIR BAG SENSOR. AS A FORMER ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN AND TECHNICAL EXPERT FOR THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, THIS MAY BE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD ENDANGER THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHER 2012 COROLLA OWNERS. I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA USA AND I AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. *TR
