| I hit a police car that was parked on the fast lane on the interstate and never even applied the brake. i was doing between 65 to 75 mph. no airbags deployed! the impact... well the front apron on the driver side is gone, the strut tower is gone (i dont mean bent .... gone), the lower part of the a pilar is pushed in pretty bad, it buckled the floorpan, the door jam (rocker panel) buckled, the door bowed and even buckled the rear quarter. the door latch held up, the door had to be removed by the fire department. i keep my seat back pretty far, however my face hit the steering wheel hard enough to bend the top of the steering wheel and her chin broke some of the plastic parts off the wheel and now missing part of my lip and have quite a few stiches in my face. and of course it knocked me out. i hav lots of bruising from the seatbeat around my waist but none from the sholder strap. the sholder retractored didnt lock to kept me from hitting the wheel. the scion seatbelts in the front have pre-tensioner with force limiters in them, neither worked. i called toyota, the claim rep stated that unless both airbag sensors have to take dirrect and equal impacts or the airbags will not go off. he stated that toyota wouldnt even look at the car for the airbags. | |||

| April 15, 2008 i had a car stop short in front of me and swerved to miss them hit the median and rolled at least six times according to a eye witness running around 60-65 mph the car was totaled and there was no air bag deployment and i know that there not supposed to deploy on a rollover but at some time or another it hit the front end hard enough to bust and bend up the radiator and it pushed the motor back into the fire wall and not to mention the damage done to the body work so i just kind of figured somebody needs to know i was injured in the wreck and i honestly couldn't say if they would of helped or made the accident worse but i need to know why they didn't deploy i've found no recalls or anything on the car so maybe it was a default air bag,,, please let me know something,, the car was a 2007 scion tc. *tr | |||
