NHTSA complaint: 2018 TOYOTA COROLLA — AIR BAGS
SAFETY RECALL WORK ON THE AIRBAGS/SEAT BELTS WAS PERFORMED AT CITY TOYOTA, DALY CITY ON 6-16-20. ON 9-9-20 I WAS HEADING HOME FROM THE BANK, DID NOT FEEL WELL, LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND RAN OVER A ROAD DIVIDER ISLAND CURB AT THE INTERSECTION OF LAKE MERCED BLVD. AND SKYLINE BLVD., S.F. AT AROUND 5 PM. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE IS WHAT I AM REPORTING HERE. EVERYTHING FROM THE HOOD DOWN WAS RIPPED OFF THE CAR, NAMELY, THE HEAD LIGHTS, GRILL, TOYOTA EMBLEM, BUMPER, RADIATOR, AND PART OF THE AC SYSTEM. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CAR, HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, AND WAS NOT INJURED, AND LUCKILY DID NOT HIT ANY PEOPLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. A LADY WHO WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT CALLED AN AMBULANCE (KING-AMERICAN AMBULANCE CO.), S.F. POLICE AND A TOW TRUCK. AAA AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY INITIALLY DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS (CLAIM #[XXX]) AND THEN OVER A MONTH LATER ON 10-15-20 THEY E-MAIL SAYING THE CAR HAD BEEN DEEMED REPAIRABLE AFTER ALL. NOW, THE CAR IS BEING TOWED TO PIERRE'S AUTO BODY, 1349 NINTH AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO CA 94122, TEL. (415) 564-0900 AND THE REPAIR WORK IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON THIS FRIDAY MORNING 10-23-20. THE OWNER OF THE SHOPS NAME IS [XXX], AND THE ESTIMATE IS A WHOPPING $8,473.45 DOLLARS. IF THIS REPORT IS REVIEWED SOON ENOUGH, I THINK THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY YOUR AGENCY BEFORE REPAIRS BEGIN AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK? THE AAA INSURANCE CLAIM ADJUSTERS NAME IS [XXX] AND CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. THANK YOU FOR LOOKIN
