Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I had to avoid an oncoming driver who lost control in a flash storm and ended up colliding with a telephone pole head on going 60mph. No safety devices activated at all, and Toyota refuses to admit it’s a problem.
MY 2017 PRIUS V WAS INVOLVED IN 2 RECENT CRASHES IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY: FRONT END/BUMPER IMPACT ON 6/1/18 AND FRONT & REAR END IMPACT WHICH TOTALED CAR ON 7/3/18. BOTH TIMES AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IMPACT ON 6/1/18 CAUSED OTHER CAR'S (2008 HONDA ACCORD) AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY, BUT NOT MINE. TOYOTA SENT INSPECTOR AFTER 6/1 CRASH; REPORT ENCLOSED. 7/3 CRASH WAS EVEN MORE SEVERE TRAVELING AT 61 MPH WHEN IMPACTED IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED. MY CAR SUSTAINED FRONT AND REAR DAMAGE AFTER IMPACT BY OTHER CAR IN THE REAR AND IMPACT IN THE FRONT INTO HIGHWAY CENTER CEMENT DIVIDER. MY CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT STILL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM CONCERNED THERE MAY BE A MFR DEFECT IN THE PRIUS V AIR BAG SYSTEM SIMILAR TO THE OTHER PRIUS AIR BAG RECALL REQUIRED BY YOU IN JANUARY 2018. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER. I HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR, AND AM RECOVERING FROM MINOR BRUISING INJURIES. I DO NOT PLAN ANY LEGAL ACTION. I AM MAINLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR OTHER PRIUS V DRIVERS. THANK YOU.
