Your car's ABS (anti-lock braking) system failed completely within a week of purchase with almost no mileage, causing the ABS warning light to come on and leaving you with only basic, non-power-assisted braking. Additionally, during a crash, the airbags failed to deploy when they should have, potentially causing greater injuries. Both the ABS pump and airbag control systems may have manufacturing or design defects that were present when the vehicle left the factory.

Your 2026 Corolla was involved in a crash with a tree while you were trying to avoid hitting a deer, but the airbags failed to deploy even though the vehicle sustained significant front-end damage, a shattered windshield, and hood damage. The SOS system did alert emergency responders to the crash. The vehicle's event data recorder was retrieved by Toyota, but you weren't given details about what it showed. A repair would likely involve a full diagnostic of the airbag system and potentially replacement of airbag components.
