My air bags did not deploy during an accident where a construction truck hit my car causing me to hit a tree and roll. My father died as a result of this accident. Now that a problem with the air bags not deploying in this type car I wonder if this is what happened. Toyota did not inspect vehicle. Lawyers engineer said because of occupants bouncing around ' car couldn't tell where everyone was and therefore air bag deployment was not commanded. Consumer stated "don't believe toyota was ever notified of incident.
