WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A PICKUP TRUCK GOING 40MPH WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. I WAS PROPELLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE MY RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HIT BY A SEDAN. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO REVIEWED MY ACCIDENT PHOTOS, AND THEY CLAIM THE FRAME WAS NOT DAMAGED, SO THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT I DON'T BUY IT. THE BACK END, GLASS, BUMPER, ETC, WAS DESTROYED AND MY PASSENGER DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WAS HIT VERY HARD. I SUFFERED MAJOR BRUISING TO MY ARMS AND LEGS, NECK AND BACK PAIN, ALL REQUIRING SEVERAL DAYS OFF WORK. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LATE IN THE EVENING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IMPLODED. THE GLASS LITERALLY CRUMBLED INTO TINY PIECES AND FELL INTO THE CAR, FRONT LEFT AND REAR LEFT SIDE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE, NOBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MY OWN GOOGLE RESEARCH HAS PROVEN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP WAS BEING LESS THAN HONEST WITH ME. MY FEAR IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND THAT I, OR OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING THIS CAR CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR
