| Description of the problem | My wife was driving the car near the dulles toll road entrance ramp at approximately 10 mph. She suddenly lost control of the vehicle and hit the car ahead of her. No bodily injury to either party. The police officer who came to the scene said that it was not my wife's fault and hence, he did not issue a ticket to my wife. The extent of the damage is $10,000. The air bag did not deploy. The loss of control of the vehicle and the air bags malfunction was told to koons toyota. They did not notify the nhtsb, nor the toyota headquarters. After the body shop work was done, koons toyota did not even inspect the vehicle to check all the necessary repairs have been done properly. No safety inspection was done. *tt |
