1999 Toyota Corolla Airbags Problems

You were hit broadside at a four-way stop with enough force to push your car through the intersection, but your airbags did not deploy during the crash. This is a serious safety concern since airbags are designed to protect you in exactly this type of collision.

You've received multiple recall notices about your airbags, but your dealer says there's no fix available yet. Because of these unresolved recalls, you and your wife are concerned that your car isn't safe to drive. The resolution will likely require waiting for Toyota to develop and release a repair kit, which you'll then need to have installed at a dealership.

Your car was involved in a crash at approximately 30 MPH when the driver confused the accelerator with the brake pedal while parking. The front airbags did not deploy during the impact with a pole, resulting in serious injuries to both occupants including fractured bones and internal injuries. The airbag system may need inspection to determine why it failed to activate during this collision.

I PURCHASED A PREVIOUSLY OWNED 1999 TOYOTA COROLLA VE 4-DOOR SEDAN FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES, IS IN FAIR CONDITION, AND IS NOT REBUILT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED RESULTING FROM FRONT-END DAMAGE, BUT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. LUCKILY, SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY AND IF THE ACCIDENT HAD BEEN ANY WORSE, THEIR FAILURE TO DEPLOY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AND IS AWAITING THE INSURANCE APPRAISAL. *JB
