My vehicle was not listed under the recall for airbags. Yet, yesterday I was involved in a fairly serious t-bone collision that affected the entire front end of my venza and no airbags went off. It was a city street intersection and both vehicles were moving about 30 miles per hour. Neither the drivers or passenger side doors would open from the impact so why no air bags?...updated 01/25/16
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Venza. The contact stated that a drunk driver hit her vehicle on the driver's side while stopped at a stoplight. The contact stated that the airbags did not deploy upon impact. The contact was taken to the hospital and was treated for her injuries. The front seat passenger sustained shoulder injuries. A police report was filed at the scene. The whereabouts of the other driver were unknown.
The contact's mother owns a 2015 Toyota Venza. While the contact's mother was driving 30 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the accelerator pedal failed to function as intended. The accelerator pedal was stuck and the vehicle accelerated out of control. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The vehicle drove through the stop sign and continued to accelerate for approximately 300 feet, down a curved road and crashed into two trees before coming to a stop.
I was approaching a stop sign at the corner or church and main streets in chester, vermont at less than 10 MPH the car surged forward and would not stop. I t-boned a car coming down main street and the car continued to surge across the road. This is a surging problem that toyota is fully aware of.
Forward sliding sunroof exploded and started disintegrating while traveling on interstate 93. Nothing came off the highway or from any other vehicle to cause this. The vehicle was in motion approx 70 MPH driving straight. Weather was clear, sunny and cold, about 29 degrees.
