| I was involved in a car accident where a full size dodge ram pick up hit me on the driver's side of my toyota. it hit me on the front fender and slightly on the front of the door. when i was hit on the side my side air bags did not deploy. when i was hit my head it the driver's side window and knocked me out. which in turn my truck was still in motion while i was knocked out and i proceeded to go through a ladies yard and came to a stop once it hit her shed head on, which those air bags did not deploy either. i had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital have a ct scan done. i suffer from head aches, neck pain and short term memory loss. i also had to miss two days of work. the wreck was sufficient enough it totaled both full size pick ups. | |||

| December 2008, while driving a rented toyota 4x4 tundra the front airbags 1/2 deployed without cause, no accident, no collision, just a bumpy paved county road - fm1431 georgetown/round rock tx area...and the longhorn car & truck rental company has offered nothing in explanation as to why. they absconded quickly with vehicle and wouldn't let my adjuster look at it. reported on tx blue form for accidents and the rental company immediately. *tr | |||
