2016 Toyota Corolla Airbags Problems

Your airbags failed to deploy during a collision in 2024, leaving you unprotected during the crash. You required emergency room treatment and ongoing rehabilitation as a result. The airbag system will need to be inspected and repaired by a Toyota dealer to identify why the bags didn't activate.

Your 2016 Corolla was rear-ended at about 45 MPH, but the airbags did not deploy during the impact. You were injured and treated for whiplash at the hospital. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer or independent mechanic, so the reason for the airbag failure is unknown. A mechanic will need to diagnose the airbag system to determine what prevented deployment and repair or replace the faulty components.

Your daughter's 2016 Corolla was involved in a high-speed crash into a concrete support beam on the expressway after being stolen. The front end sustained significant damage, but the airbags failed to deploy during the impact. The vehicle was declared a total loss by insurance, and the dealer did not perform any diagnostic work to determine why the safety system didn't activate.

Your airbags failed to deploy during a crash, resulting in serious injuries that required a 4-day hospital stay in the ICU. This is a critical safety system failure that prevented the airbags from protecting you during the accident.

THE ACCIDENT IS WELL DOCUMENTED

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STARTED BLINKING RED WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE LIGHT SAYS THE AIRBAG IS OFF.

D/BA BUDGET RENT A CAR OF ATLANTA, AT 6509 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30328. THE TOYOTA HAD 21,619 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE RENTAL. AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I WAS DRIVING SOUTHEAST ON JIMMY CARTER BLVD IN NORCROSS GEORGIA. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. UPON DEPARTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC TOWARDS VEHICLES WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD ONE BLOCK AWAY. I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES LONG BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLES WAITING AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION, HOWEVER THE CAR'S BRAKE ACTION WAS MINIMAL. AS I COMPLETELY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND SIMILAR TO THE ENGAGEMENT OF AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS), HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. WHEN I FULLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I DID NOT HEAR AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. AS A RESULT OF THE TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURE, I IMPACTED A STATIONARY VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF JIMMY CARTER BLVD AND ROCKBRIDGE SCHOOL ROAD. THE TOYOTA'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO SKIDMARKS AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SUFFERED INJURIES AS WELL AS MULTIPLE OCCUPANTS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE. *TR

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT TIME OF CRASH WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY. THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND DID NOT STOP. INSTEAD OF SWERVING TO THE RIGHT TO MISS ME, SHE SWERVED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE JUST AS I WAS TURNING LEFT. HER GMC 2500 HEAVY DUTY PICK-UP IMPACTED MY CAR AT THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT PILLAR, FRONT FENDER.THE IMPACT PUSHED MY CAR OVER 30 FT DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE PUSHING MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 20 FT OFF THE ROAD, UP A SLIGHT HILL. IN THIS IMPACT, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE STATE TROOPER AT THE SCENE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARE ALL STUNNED BY THIS FACT. IN THIS ACCIDENT MY HEAD HIT THE PILLAR NEXT TO MY DOOR CAUSING ME TO BE KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, GIVING ME A CONCUSSION AND CAUSING A HEAD LACERATION REQUIRING STAPLES IN MY HEAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE CARTRIDGE IN THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY COLLAR BONE WAS BROKEN AS WELL. MY CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC PRIOR TO MAKING THE LEFT-HAND TURN. IN ADDITION, I DID HAVE A PROGRESSIVE SNAP-SHOT INSTALLED IN THE CAR.
