OUR INSURED WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELLERATED STRIKING A WALGREENS DRUG STORE. OUR INSURED DRIVER WAS TREATED AND RELEASE AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND DOWNLOAD OF THE DATA RECORDER.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONE ON ERRANDS AND HAD STOPPED AT A T-INTERSECTION, POSITIONED AT THE TOP OF THE "T" AND PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT. I'D LET AFEW CARS GO PAST, TRAVELING ON THE MAIN STREET WITH TRAFFIC CLOSEST TO ME GOING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN THOSE CARS HAD PASSED AND IT WAS SAFE TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE MAIN STREET, I STARTED TO SLOWLY DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY THE CAR BOLTED FORWARD AND OUT OF CONTROL, ACCELERATING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRAVELING RIGHT TO LEFT. A CAR GOING ABOUT 40 MPH SLAMMED INTO THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND BOTH OUR CARS CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS DAZED FROM THE COLLISION AND EXITED MY CAR FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I COULD SEE THAT THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY CAR, INCLUDING THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED. I WAS IN SHOCK AND A LADY FROM A NEARBY HOUSE WHO HAD HEARD THE CRASH CAME OUT WITH A CHAIR FOR ME TO SIT ME DOWN ON WHILE THE POLICE AND PARAMEDICS WERE ON THE WAY. I NEVER WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR AND DON'T KNOW THE CONDITION OF THE OTHER DRIVER OR THEIR CAR. I WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND SUFFERED CHEST, NECK AND BACK PAIN. I AM QUITE SURE IT WAS THE GAS PEDAL STICKING THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE SO UNEXPECTEDLY AND QUICKLY, PROPELLING ME THROUGH THE CROSS-TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AND I AM STILL IN SHOCK OVER IT, NOT TO MENTION NOT KNOWING THE CONDITION, EXTENT OF INJURIES OR EVEN THE IDENTITY OF THE OTHER DRIVER AS YET. *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA - 40,000 MILES. INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT WITH A TREE FROM A PEAK VELOCITY OF 40-45 MPH TO AN ESTIMATED IMPACT SPEED OF 20-25 MPH. THE VEHICLE HIT SQUARE IN HOOD CENTER, DEFORMING EVERYTHING BACKWARD SYMMETRICALLY 1-1.5 FEET. INSURANCE COMPANY CLASSIFIED VEHICLE AS A TOTAL LOSS (DAMAGE > $16,000). DRIVER SUFFERED MULTIPLE LEFT ARM INJURIES INCLUDING WRIST DISLOCATION AND FRACTURED FOREARM BONES - RESULTING BECAUSE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS FOR A WEEK AND THEIR EXPLANATION AT FIRST WAS THAT THE IMPACT SPEED WAS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS. AFTER VIEWING THE PICTURES, THEY CHANGED THEIR POSITION TO STATE THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A CONCENTRATED IMPACT NOT CENTERED ABOUT THE IMPACT SENSOR, AND NOT AN EVENLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD IMPACT, THE SENSORS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. UNACCEPTABLE. I ASKED THE CS REP IF WE HAD HIT THE TREE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AT 100 MPH, WOULD THE AIRBAG HAVE DEPLOYED AND HER ANSWER WAS 'THEORETICALLY NO'. WHETHER THIS LACK OF DEPLOYMENT WAS BY DESIGN OR NOT, I FEEL THIS IS A HORRIFIC IMPACT PROTECTION PHILOSOPHY. NONE OF US WOULD CHOOSE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, AND CERTAINLY NONE OF US ARE GOING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER WHEN AND WHERE AND HOW FAST AND AT WHAT ANGLE WE WILL MAKE IMPACT. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF AN ACCIDENT. I GUESS I AM INQUIRING ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY OF THIS EXPLANATION TO ME BY TOYOTA, AND ALSO ABOUT THE REGULATIONS FOR IMPACT SENSOR DEPLOYMENT. WOULD IT NOT BE WISE TO EMPLOY A THIRD IMPACT SENSOR AT VEHICLE CENTER, POSSIBLY WITH A HIGHER DETONATION SPEED? THAT WAY IT WOULD NOT BE ACTIVATING EVERY TIME THERE WERE A 5 MPH BUMP IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT, BUT WOULD STILL DEPLOY IF SUBJECTED TO THE TYPE OF IMPACT WE HAVE JUST SEEN. THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET APPROACHING A 4 WAY STOP. THERE WAS A CAR A GOOD DISTANCE AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP, NOTHING HAPPENED.. I PICKED MY FOOT UP AND PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN, STILL GOING FASTER. NOW I AM GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO THE OTHER CAR WHICH IS STOPPING FOR THE STOP SIGN. I PUSHED HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKE (I'M SURE IT WAS THE BRAKE, I PICKED MY FOOT UP AND PUT IT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES) SO I SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID THE CAR. BY NOW I AM GOING PRETTY FAST. THERE WERE CARS COMING THE OTHER WAY, SO I TRIED TO TURN THE CORNER TO AVOID HITTING THEM, WAS GOING TOO FAST TO MAKE THE CORNER, SO WOUND UP HITTING A CONCRETE WALL. I AM VERY SORE, CHEST, RIGHT HAND, LEFT KNEE. LOTS OF BRUISES, LUCKILY NO BROKEN BONES THAT I KNOW OF. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIR BAG. THE POLICE ASKED ME IF IT DEPLOYED, I LOOKED DOWN AT THE STEERING COLUMN AND SAW IT THERE, DEFLATED AND WITH A RIP IN IT, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER BEING ACTUALLY HIT WITH IT, HOWEVER I DON'T REMEMBER HITTING MY HAND OR KNEE EITHER,BUT OBVIOUSLY I DID. I HEARD ONE OF THE POLICEMEN SAY I MISTAKENLY HIT THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, BUT THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE. I KNOW I WAS ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IS TOTALED, SO NO REPAIRS. *TR

ON MARCH 14, 2009 MY HUSBAND HIT A TREE HEAD ON WITH THE VAN WHILE TRYING TO AVOID A DEER. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. HE HIT HIS HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND BROKE A BONE IN HIS HAND. THE AIRBAG TRIED TO DEPLOY BUT FAILED. PART OF THE SECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL IN FRONT OF THE AIRBAG SEPARATED BUT THE BAG DID NOT INFLATE. *TR

I, TOGETHER WITH MY FAMILY HAD A CAR ACCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN STAMFORD, CT. A CAR STRUCK MY VAN PERPENDICULARLY AT THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WHICH CAUSED IT TO SPUN 180 DEGREES. AS THE COLLISION OCCURRED MY SEATBELT SUDDENLY UNBUCKLED WHICH RESULTED MYSELF SLAMMING ON THE SIDE DOOR AND INCURRING MULTIPLE CONTUSION. I FILED A REPORT TO TOYOTA MOTORS ABOUT IT, AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT. ACCORDING TO THEIR INSPECTOR THERE IS NO MALFUNCTION TO MY SEATBELT. HE CONCLUDED THAT I MIGHT HAD ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE RELEASE BUTTON OF THE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM AS OF NOW. BY THE WAY, MY VAN IS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LE AWD . I WAS AT THE RIGHT SECOND ROW WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

WITH NO WARNING ABS WILL LOCK UP AND CAUSE VAN TO VIOLENTLY SWERVE TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES ONCE , OTHER TIMES SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS. BUT LONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TERRIFYING TO LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT DECIDES TO GIVE YOU CONTROL AGAIN. SEVERAL TRIPS TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS AS WELL NO LESS THAN 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT CAUSES IT. HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERS WERE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE BUT HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 18 MONTHS. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SOLVE THE SAME ISSUE IN 2004-2010 TOYOTA'S IN ALL MODELS. PLEASE HELP!
