TAKATA RECALL ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2017 AT 7:40AM, I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF SOUTH BOUND ON ALABAMA STREET IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THIS STREET IS A TWO-LANE STREET ON EACH SIDE. I WAS AWARE THAT I WAS ABIDING BY THE SPEED LIMIT, GOING AROUND 25-30 MILES, BECAUSE I HAD JUST LEFT A STOPPED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS HEADING INTO SCHOOL ZONE THAT HAD A FLASHING WARNING LIGHT. ANOTHER DRIVER, DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON A CROSS STREET OF LIVE OAK STREET, RAN THE STOP SIGN AT HIGH SPEED AND CRASHED INTO ME ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD SEEN THE CAR COMING AND TRIED TO SWERVE AWAY TO THE RIGHT TO NOT HIT HER BUT SHE WAS GOING SO FAST I COULD NOT AVOID HER. THE OTHER DRIVER ADMITTED IT WAS HER FAULT BOTH TO MYSELF, THE POLICE OFFICER WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND IN THE ACCIDENT REPORT. THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE HAS CLAIMED FULL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR, THE 2008 SCION XB, DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE DOCUMENTATION, IT WAS A DIRECT HIT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND WAS EXTENSIVE. THE DAMAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERALLY INJURED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY I DID HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN EXAMINATION BUT WAS CLEARED THAT I HAD NOT SUFFERED ANY MAJOR TRAUMA TO THE HEAD OR NECK.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE RECEIVED A RECALL ON OUR TAKATA AIRBAGS THE DAY OF MY ACCIDENT. I CAME TO A STOP ON THE STREET AND ONE CAR WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. CAUSING DAMAGE TO ME AND MY PASSENGER. FOR SOME REASON THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION EITHER WAY. WE COULD'VE BEEN BOTH SEVERELY INJURED AND THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY WE WAS STILL INJURED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE ON A PAYMENT, I BOUGHT THE FULL SERVICE PACKAGE FOR THE VEHICLE AND OUR VEHICLE WAS NEVER FIXED PROPERLY OVER THE COURSE OF 6+ MONTHS THAT TOYOTA HAD THE VEHICLE. NO WE HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WE ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT DRIVING BECAUSE IT CAN HARM ME, MY WIFE AND MY SON WHILE WE ARE ALL IN THE CAR. WE FEEL THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE NOT IN JUST THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT ITS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE WHOLE CAR. SO WE ARE STILL DRIVING IN FEAR. WE ALSO HAVE A LIMITED EDITION SCION, 849 OF 2500 MADE IN THE US.
