TAKATA RECALL AND DRAS II FAILURE FOR AS YET TO BE DETERMINED ADDITIONAL VINS MY FRIEND AND I WERE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEATS, BUCKLED UP, SITTING IN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON THE 5 FREEWAY HEADED NORTH. WE WERE REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AT A SLIGHT ANGLE TO OUR BUMPTER, BY A DRIVER WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL DECIMATION OF THEIR VEHICLE AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE WHICH MANIFESTED ITSELF AS REAR BUMPER AND REAR UNDER BODY DAMAGE, AS WELL AS CRUMPLING OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND QUARTERPANELS, TO OUR 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I WERE THROWN FORWARD, AND DESPITE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS I HIT MY HEAD AND KNEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA DURING THE IMPACT. NO AIRBAGS INFLATED IN THE VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE DRIVER CONSOLE DISPLAYED RED ERROR LIGHTS INDICATING THAT AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED DESPITE NONE HAVING DONE SO. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I SUSTAINED SERIOUS AND ONGOING INJURIES AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 27000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE ARE CONFIRMED REPORTS FROM TOYOTA DEMONSTRATING THAT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE PRONE TO FAILING AT THE CHIP EDGE DUE TO LARGE INTERNAL TENSILE STRESS INCONJUNCTION WITH DEFECTS IN THE SENSOR CAUSING IT TO DELAMINATE.
