On december 18, 2020 a crash involving a 2014 toyota camry occurred. During the crash, the driver's airbag deployed. The driver died as a result of his injuries. During a post-crash inspection of the vehicle, many holes, tears, and burn-through holes were discovered in the driver's airbag that may have been caused by shrapnel.
Tl* the contact owned a 2014 toyota camry. While making a left turn at 25 MPH, the contact's vehicle crashed into the preceding vehicle. Smoke appeared and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the parker's dealer located on 2416 cass st. Fort wayne, in 46808 and it was deemed destroyed. The contact sustained a head injury, left leg injury, right ankle sprain, and multiple cuts and bruises that required medical attention.
May 8 2022 The vehicle was parked when I took it out of park it accelerated even when I repeatedly slammed on the brakes it continued to accelerate. It caused me to hit another vehicle and almost into a house. Airbags didn't deploy either....Prior to the incident a check hybrid system was the only warning i guess the vehicle had given. Which we had a appointment to get checked tomorrow. May 9th 2022.
Battery died, battery was jumped and the windshield wipers switch fried and short circuited my entire electrical wiring. Resulting in $2,800.00 in damages. The car was stationary. There was recall on this problem for camry's and I believe this wasn't fixed on mine.
My 2014 camry stalls when I stop and try to inter traffic. It does this very often. I reported this to mckinnion toyato in clantion al. They say they can't get it to do this.I am scared to drive this car, it is going to get me or someone killedif this is not corrected. I am going back to them tomorrow.if they don't fix this I willgo to my lawyer and inform if I get in an accidentbecause of this condition. So he can take action against toyato
