Typical airbag symptoms owners report
- Owners report front or side-impact crashes at highway speeds, including deer strikes and head-on collisions, where no airbags deployed at all.
- Multiple complaints describe low-speed impacts, such as parking lot crashes or rear-end collisions around 15 mph, where airbags also failed to fire.
- Some drivers report airbag non-deployment during rollovers or spin-outs after loss of control at highway speed.
- A number of owners tie their non-deployment complaint to the Takata airbag recall, saying Toyota determined the crash was severe enough to warrant deployment but the airbags still did not activate.
- Several complaints mention resulting injuries such as head, neck, or shoulder trauma from striking the steering wheel, mirror, or seatbelt tightening, which owners attribute to the missing airbag deployment.
- Median mileage at failure across these reports is 41,000 miles, spanning both low-mileage and higher-mileage vehicles.
