What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota rav4. The contact crashed into a vehicle that failed to yield the right of way. The contact stated the air bag failed to protect him when the impact was harder than normal and created a smoke that smelled like fire. The driver and passenger side air bags deployed, causing the passenger internal bruising and a cracked rib. The contact received injuries to the chest, which caused breathing difficulties. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available.
My vehicle was traveling 35+ miles per hous when I inadvertently hit the vehicle in front of me who had slowed significantly to 25 MPH or less. Both vehicles suffered severe damages as seen in photos
