| Description of the problem | Involved in a head on collision, air bags did not deploy. This vehicle had been taken into the dealer upon notice of the recall for tekata tk holdings air bags. The repairs were made. Injuries were sustained in this accident,but could have been minimized if our airbags would have deployed. The other driver ran a red light at a high speed driving a 2007 toyota 4 runner. Her airbags did deploy just fine. I was making a left turn at the intersection of layton parkway and main street in layton, utah having a green arrow and the right of way proceeded upon visualizing the intersection for all traffic to have stopped, this other driver came off the interstate at a high rate of speed blowing through the red light and hitting us head on. The impact completely lifted my truck up and spun it around a full 180 degrees pointing it in the opposite direction. My rate of speed at the time of the impact was only 5-10 mph |
