Description of the problem | The vehicle was in an accident that ended in a total loss. The iq was hit by an f150 truck and none of the iq airbags deployed. The iq was at joemyers toyota one week prior to the accident to fix the safety recall of the airbags not deploying. We have paperwork from joemyers toyota in houston, tx stating that they car's safety recall concerns were repaired. The iq was sold to us as being safe based on the amount and placement of the airbags. The driver was seriously injured, taken by ambulance and still recovering from a brain injury. The rescue workers, doctors,attorneys etc said if the airbags had deployed the injury to the driver's brain would not of been so severe. We want to ensure that no one else has this problem, the driver could have died based on the iq not being safe and none of the airbags deploying. |
