| Description of the problem | I hit a bmw. I was changing the station in my car and when i looked up i was too close to the bmw to successfully stop before hitting them. As a result, because the bmw was completely stopped, a domino effect occurred in that the two cars in front of the bmw were also hit. The damage to the bmw, the car i directly hit, was a back bumper that was slightly de-attached from the car (moderate damage) and a the front windshield cracked. The airbag in the bmw deployed. My airbag did not. I was in an accident in 2008 where i was rear-ended. Again, at the rate i was hit, my car's airbag did not deploy. This is the second toyota that i have bought where the airbag did not deploy. I worry that there was something wrong with my car's sensors. |
