NHTSA complaint: 2012 TOYOTA AVALON — AIR BAGS
ANOTHER DRIVER RAND A RED LIGHT AND I (T-BONED HIS PASSENGER SIDE) WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS BREAKING AT THE TIME, BUT STILL IMAGINE I HIT HIM AT BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE FRONT END CRUMPLED AS EXPECTED BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FIREFIGHTERS CUT POWER TO PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING UNEXPECTEDLY AFTERWARDS. A CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON IN RECENT DAYS THAT I DID NOT GET FIXED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE AFFECTED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG I EXPECT. LIBERTY MUTUAL IS CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF THE CAR (THEY DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS).
