| Description of the problem | I was in an accident on september 10, 2005. I was driving northbound on 5th street in santa monica and had the green light. As i entered the intersection, i saw a car going eastbound on santa monica blvd entering the intersection against the light. I was unable to stop in time and hit the other car. My airbags did not deploy. The on-scene officers, the body shop, and the claims adjuster were concerned that my air bags did not deploy. I contacted toyota and they did an inspection and on or about 10/7/05 concluded that there was not a problem with the air bags. They will not give me a copy of the report. I had an accident reconstructionist look at photos of my car and she stated the airbags should have deployed. *jb |
