NHTSA complaint: 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA — AIR BAGS
ON 08/07/2018, I WAS IN A CAR (2016 TOYOTA COROLLA) ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER CAR SLAMMED ME IN THE REAR AND I'VE HIT A CHEVY PICKUP IN THE BACK. THE PICK-UP WAS COMING TO A STOP WHICH I WAS SLOWING DOWN AS WELL AND I'M ASSUMING THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND DID NOT PAID ATTENTION. THEREFORE, HE HIT ME BETWEEN 45-50 MPH IN THE BACK WHICH I'VE HIT THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY AT 30-35MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH IS VERY SHOCKING AND MY SHOULDER ALONG WITH MY ARM SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO, I HAD A HARD TIME WITH MY BRAKES BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN AS I WAS PRESSING ON IT. I'M SUFFERING FROM INTENSE RIGHT LEG PAIN AS IF I'VE TORN THE MUSCLE BUT 10X'S WORST. EVER SINCE THE ACCIDENT, MY LEG HAS BEEN GOING NUMB QUITE FREQUENTLY WHICH GOES INTO MY TOES. I'M WALKING WITH A LIMP AND MY SHOULDER HAS SHARP PAIN AS WELL. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT MY AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOY AS SOON AS THE IMPACT OCCURRED BUT IT DIDN'T...
