Description of the problem | My 2007 toyota camry le was rear-ended at around 40-50 miles per hour and it was pushed into the car in front of me. So i was struck from the back and then the front. The other two cars' airbags deployed but mine did not. I notice there are front and side tests done on cars but never when one is rear-ended. I went to the emergency room with a headache and stiffness in my neck and was diagnosed with whiplash - head and back. Everyone i've mentioned this to wondered why my airbags did not deploy. Can you tell me if it should have? Fortunately my seatbelt worked and restrained me and i did not bump my head on anything other than the headrest. Just wondering if i should be concerned that my airbag did not deploy. Oh, and my just-paid off camry was totaled -- over $12,000 in damages so i have to buy another car and wondering if i should consider another vehicle. I feel fortunate that i was able to walk away from the incident though there is no more "truck" so to speak left on my car. I'd like to get another camry but need to know if the lack of airbag deployment is important to consider when buying another car. Also, i have been hearing that the floor mat recall on the toyotas from 2007 -2010 is not really a floor mat issue but an electrical one that toyota is not telling us about. What do you know about this? |
