NHTSA complaint: 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA — AIR BAGS
I AM AN OWNER OF A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHICH WAS INVOLVED IN A REALLY BAD FRONTAL WRECK. MY VEHICLE HAD COLLIDED WITH THE REAR OF AN SUV AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND BRAKED ABOUT 200 FT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHEN IT COLLIDED. NEITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, NOR THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER HIT THEIR HEAD AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD AND SHATTERED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS VIA EMAIL AND PHONE SO THEY MAY INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BUT I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. *NM
