Description of the problem | Takata inflators (possible) the car was in an accident. My wife rear ended another vehicle and there was a good amount of front end damage. She was not sure about the exact speed. She was driving on interstate 95 in west haven ct in clear weather but fairly heavy traffic. The thinks the speed was between 25 to 35 mph. The damage it the front end was enough to declare the car a total loss. The damage went all the way to the engine block. Most of the airbags did deploy. The drivers side steering wheel and knee airbags deploy, however, they did not inflate. The side airbags and curtain airbags deployed but only some inflated or partial inflated. I spoke to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and they said it was strange. So i reported it to toyota and they are going to inspect the vehicle. During my initial conversations with toyota corporate office they too said it does not seem correct. They are going to inspect the care with a week. I am not sure what to make of their inspection and i want to make sure they are fair. Luckily no one was hurt in the accident. But i do think the issue needs to be looked at. The car is currently at a body-shop but the insurance company will be taking possession for salvage. |
