NHTSA complaint: 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA — AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I WAS DRIVING (IN AREA WHERE APPARENTLY A LOT OF ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AT THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION) AND I CAME TO A STOP SIGN - COULD ONLY TURN RIGHT OR LEFT...LOOKED LEFT - SAW NO ONE, THEN LOOKED RIGHT - SAW A TRUCK WAY IN THE DISTANCE...SO I ACCELERATED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE (THE SIDE WHERE I SAW NO ONE) - NEVER SAW IT COMING, CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED, AND MY LEFT CLAVICLE WAS BROKEN IN 5 PLACES. SIDE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED, FRONT AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND NOT SURE IF I HIT MY HEAD...BUT I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I DIDN'T THINK TO REPORT IT - NOR DID I REALIZE THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM, UNTIL NOW WHEN I'M RESEARCHING CARS AND SAW THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD THIS SAME INCIDENT/PROBLEM. I WILL CALL TOYOTA AND REPORT IT ASAP. *JB
