| 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. | |||

| The instrument panel around the clock burned out for no reason. the car is not put together well everything sounds as if the frame will separate from the car. the car has a problem with the cooling system, if is really loud an shakes the car really bad. the abs in the car responds prematurely which it is really loud. the seat belts in the car does not retract properly cause damage to the seat hook in the car and it premature tights while sitting at a light so you have to unbuckle an re-buckle often in the car. the engine fan timing is off as if it does not know what to do and it is extremely loud. *jb | |||
