2013 Toyota HIGHLANDER Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1223797
Internal NHTSA #	10777920
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2013
File date	23/12/14
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was proceeding through an intersection under a green light. A vehicle traveling the cross road proceeded through their red light and impacted my vehicle at full speed. The result was a "t-bone" accident into the driver's side door. The force of the collision was such that my vehicle was turned 90 degrees. The driver's head impacted the driver's side window shattering that window. The side curtain air bag did not deploy. Air bags in the other vehicle did deploy. Had the air bag operated properly it would have protected the driver's head from impacting and shattering the window. Since the side curtain airbag did not deploy in what appears to be an obvious situation, i am now concerned that none of the airbags in that vehicle will deploy upon impact and i am driving an unsafe vehicle.
