1. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA 4 DOOR SEDAN AND DID NOT SEE A PICKUP TRUCK STOPPED IN THE ROAD WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. SHE SWERVED, BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE TRUCK. THE TOYOTA COROLLA SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT OF THE CAR (THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY). THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO MY DAUGHTER OR HER PASSENGER. 2. THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURES OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON THE TOYOTA COROLLA. FIRST, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE INVESTIGATING POLICE OFFICER SAID THAT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE COLLISION "MISSED THE SENSOR". SECOND, AND THE FAILURE THAT MOST CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE HOOD LATCH FAILED TO PREVENT THE HOOD FROM POPPING LOOSE, THEREBY DRIVING THE HOOD BACKWARDS AND BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS APPALLED THAT THE HOOD LATCH FAILED TO SECURE THE HOOD IN THE CRASH. 3. SINCE THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE HOOD LATCH FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED. THE DELAY IN REPORTING THE FAILURE SI DUE TO MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DATABASE. *TR
