What owners wrote
I was belted in and hit a street sign then a 6 foot tall straight up and down just about sand hill and then a tree. Impact was sufficient enough to brake my back for sudden stop. The accident was may 5, 2016 and it was a drunk driving accident but that shouldn't matter as I should have been stopped by airbag instead of snapping my back.. I have had serious memory loss due to prior medical conditions. I love toyota but I believe something went terribly wrong that night as impact should have set off driver airbag.
2010 toyota tacoma 4 wheel drive -loss control of vehicle by overcorrecting and hit a tree head on- frontal airbags did not depoly. However, side airbags did deploy. Great concern of why both frontal airbags did not deploy!!!!!
