Airbags did not deploy on time of the accident that I was very injured and hospitalized for 4 days in the iCU

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A MANUAL STEERING. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A TRACTOR. THEN WHEN I GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING IT MADE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THEN EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I AM A RETIRED TEACHER WHO SPENT HER RETIREMENT MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE RELIABLE.

I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER FOR RECALLS. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 20TB03, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V024, DATED: JAN 17, 2020 AND READ; 'THE SUBJECT VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FROM A SPECIFIC SUPPLIER DESIGNED TO RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM CRASH SENSORS AND DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS. THE ECU MAY NOT HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AGAINST CERTAIN ELECTRICAL NOISE THAT CAN OCCUR IN CERTAIN CRASHES, SUCH AS SEVERE UNDERRIDE CRASHES. THIS CAN LEAD TO INCOMPLETE OR NONDEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND/OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS.'

MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE BUT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN ORLAND PARK ILLINOIS SAYS IT IS NOT. HOW DO I GET THE AIRBAG ISSUE FIXED?

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 2/20/2020 MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I FELT MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA LOSE TRACTION ON THE ROAD AND START TO SLIP. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND I NEVER FELT IT ENGAGE.

MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO IMPACT THE GUARDRAIL. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY WHICH ALSO CAUSED ME TO HIT MY HEAD AND SHOULDER HARD ON THE DRIVER WINDOW/DOOR. UPON THE MULTIPLE IMPACTS AND DESPITE SENSORS BEING STRUCK, MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE AND MY SEAT BELT FAILED TO TIGHTEN. CAUSING INJURY TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF MY BODY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET, MY CAR STARTED TO STALL, AND DIE, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET, AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED, AND CAR STOPPED RUNNING, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE, AND START IT UP AGAIN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, BECAUSE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE CAR STALLED, DIED. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE, ADJUSTED IT AND THEN KEPT GOING. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, AND WILL TAKE MY CAR THERE IN MESA, AZ ON SATURDAY TO BE CHECKED. IT SEEMED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT WITH TOYOTA TACOMAS. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY! I'M DRIVING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STOPS RUNNING AND DIES. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, AND THERE ARE NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES INSIDE MY CAR, TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2016, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN TO ME.

CONTINUING PROBLEM WHEN FOOT IS ON BRAKE PEDAL AND HIT A BUMP IN ROAD, GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATION SENSATION IN PEDAL. TOYOTA DEALER SAYS BRAKES ARE OK. TODAY THIS HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME THE GRINDING NOISE WAS PRONOUNCED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE - FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND BARELY STOPPED IN TIME BEFORE ALMOST REAR ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

TOYOTA COROLLA STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL START IN THE PARKING LOT. ON 2 OCASSIONS IT WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO LEAVE IT AT A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AND A GROCERY STORE. WHEN I RETURNED IT WOULD START. THE LAST TIME, IT WOULD NOT START SO I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL FILLER PIPE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK HAD MULTIPLE HOLES AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK SUB-ASSY. DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE FOR COROLLAS (VEHICLE IS THREE YEARS OLD). DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SUCTION GASKET HAD DETERIORATED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT.

I'VE A RECALL ON MY 2 TOYOTA COROLLA 2015 AND 2016, THAT CAME OUT ON JAN 17 2020 AND IT HAS BEING MORE THAN 30 DAYS AND THERE'S NO REMEDY TO THE DATE . I DO AND MY FAMILY NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVES THOSE VEHICLES . WHAT SHOULD I DO ON THIS CASE .? PLEASE ADVICE . A SENSOR FROM THE AIR BAGS IS NOT SENDING SIGNAL TO THE AIR BAGS IN CASE IT NEED TO DEPLOY, ALSO THE SEAT BELTS ACCORDING WITH THE INFORMATION DOES NOT WORKING PROPERLY .

OPEN RECALL SINCE 1/17/2020. NHTSA RECALL# 20V024 MANUFACTURER RECALL# 20TB03 THERE IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK WITH MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS/SEATBELTS, THAT TOYOTA STILL HASN'T FOUND A REMEDY FOR??!! HOW AM I TO FEEL ABOUT MY WIFE AND 2-YEAR OLD SON RIDING IN THAT CAR DAILY? I HAVE A VEHICLE I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON, BUT AM VERY HESITANT ABOUT USING? HOW MANY RESOURCES/HOURS ARE BEING DEDICATED TO FIXING THIS ISSUE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT CAN BE TAKING SO LONG, FOR SUCH AN ENORMOUS SAFETY RISK.

THE CAR SEEMS TO BE MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER, WHILE IN PARK, NEUTRAL. ALSO A RATTLING NOISE IN REVERSE AND DRIVE! ALSO ON UPHILL ROADS FROM A STAND STILL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE WITHOUT ACCELERATING OCCASIONALLY. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE CAR IN HIGHER SPEEDS OF 40+ AND RUBBER BANDING WHEN IN SLOW LESS THAN 15 MPH.

ON 1/1/2020 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE CITY STREET; AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BRAKES STARTED TO GRIND AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THIS SAME BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE, REOCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH

THE DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DOOR NOT TO OPEN. WHEN SIMPLY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE FOB OR EVEN PLACING THE CAR INTO PARK THE DOOR ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK BUT FAIL. SOME DOOR LOCKS OPERATE FINE AND SOME GET STUCK. PASSENGER FRONT LOCK AND REAR DRIVER LOCKS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ON MY TOYOTA. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY.

I WAS IN CAR ACCIDENT AND REAR ENDED MY AIRBAGS FAILED DEPLOY AND SEAT BELT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS TO STOP FORCE MY BODY FELT RAGGED DOGGED AS BEING HIT MY NECK FELT IT WAS GOING SNAPPED I WAS SCARED FOR LIFE.I WAS ON CITY CITY STREET STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WHEN REAR ENDED BY LARGE SUV.

12/09/2019, The ECU did not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that occurred during the collision. Airbags did not deploy in the event of under ride collision, a freak accident involving wildlife crossing the street. Seat belt pretensioners did not engage. I called Allstate insurance that same day. Had I not worn my seat belt, I might have gone through the windshield. Safety was in danger, and not protected. Meineke informed me the oil housing component, fused onto the component that allows for an oil change because it was made with a plastic material, that is an incorrect material, Oxygen sensor lit up after that finding. Vehicle is not available for inspection upon request. Tyler Law Enforcement might have inspected the vehicle in general. My VIN for my vehicle does not describe the style of my vehicle, which is a 2016 Toyota Carolla Sport, Red.

BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARMS MAKES A SQUEAK NOISE. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES. I SHOWED THIS TO TOYOTA SERVICE ON DECEMBER 2019 WHEN FIRST STARTED BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THEN SHOWED IT TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA SERVICES IN 2020, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND IT EITHER. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SUSPENSION SPRINGS, SO I REPLACED IT BUT STILL THE SQUEAKY NOISE WASN'T RESOLVED. RECENTLY I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I FOUND THE ATTACHED BULLETIN, BUT THE TOYOTA SERVICE WORKERS NEVER SEEN THIS AND TOYOTA NEVER INFORMED ME OF THE BULLETIN. PLEASE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT A BULLETIN. TO THIS DAY, THE SQUEAKY NOISE IS A LOT LOUDER THAN IN 2019. PLEASE HELP.

BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARMS MAKES A SQUEAK NOISE. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 3,200 MILES AND TODAY WHEN I WAS IN A TRAFFIC JAM MY CAR TEMPERATURE BLOW UP AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR. IT'S PRACTICALLY A NEW CAR WITH A VERY LOW MILES A USAGE. WHAT HAPPENING???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A DEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NEITHER THE DRIVER NOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION A DAY LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V024000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

2016 TOYOTA COROLLA, 80,000 MILES. I'M DRIVING UP A HILL TOWARDS THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR SLOWS AND COMES TO A STOP. I TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON AND IT WON'T TURN ON. GET IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IT'LL BE $8,000 TO REPAIR. THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAME OUT OF THE BLUE AND MY CAR ISN'T EVEN COVERED FOR IT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75,000 MILES. CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE CVT RECALL OF CERTAIN 2014-2017 COROLLAS SO I'M LEFT WITH THIS MYSTERIOUS TRANSMISSION DEFECT WHICH PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS TRYING TO HEAD ONTO THE FREEWAY!

I HAVE A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 50,525 MILES ON IT. WHEN I START MY CAR, IT DOESN'T WONT TO START-(THE BATTERY IS OK). IT HAS BEEN STALLING LATELY AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT DOESN'T WON'T TO GO, EVEN THOUGH I ACCELERATE. I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS IN NOV 2019. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE WEATHER OR I NEEDED A BATTERY. BUT NEITHER IS THE CASE. THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I SHOULDN'T NEED A BATTERY NOR SHOULD I BE HAVING THESE ISSUES

RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT THE CVT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WE HAD THIS DONE AT INVER GROVE TOYOTA. HOWEVER, THE RPM'S CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEN TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $6000. CAR HAS JUST OVER 62000 MILES AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT GRANT AN EXCEPTION TO THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE NEW TRANSMISSION. WE NOW HAVE THR VEHICLE AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHO IS DOING A DIAGNOSIS. IF THEY FIND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED, THEY WILL BE REPLACING IT WITH A USED TRANSMISSION FROM A SALVAGE YARD.

TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKING AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING MOSTLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS AND FEELS AS THOUGH YOU'VE HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD EVEN THOUGH ROAD WAS CLEAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IF IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I LAST BROUGHT IT TO DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE THEY PUT ON THE VEHICLE REPORT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BLACK AND WHEN I ASKED WHAT SHOULD BE DONE THE SERVICE ADVISER DIDN'T TEXT BACK. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING MORE OFTEN AND I ESTIMATE THE CLUNKING AND STRANGE NOISE HAS HAPPENED 10-15 TIMES AT LEAST. IT IS NERVE WRACKING WHEN IT OCCURS BECAUSE IT IS SCARY TO FEEL THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

INVOLVED IN COLLISION ON OCTOBER 14, 2019. VEHICLE LIABLE FOR COLLISION HIT THE FRONT OF LEFT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, SAFETY RESTRAINT DID NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. SUFFERED INJURIES TO LEFTS SIDE OF BODY, HEAD, NECK, LEG, FRONT AND BACK. BODY PROPELLED FORWARD TOWARDS WHEEL AND DASH ARM, SHOULDER AND ONE CONTACTED VEHICLE AND HEAD HIT STEERING WHEEL. WENT TO ER. SEEKING TREATMENT FOR INJURIES FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND ONGOING. *TR

WAS IN MAJOR ACCIDENT, FRONT FRAME BENT, RADIATOR CRUSH, WHOLE FRONT AND SIDE FENDERS SCHREDDED AND NEITHER DRIVER NOR PASSENGER AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. WAS STATIONERY AT 4 WAY INTERSECTION, DRIVER RAN LIGHT, GOT HIT BY A TRUCK FROM THE SIDE, TOOK OFF FRONT OF CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE, THE CONTACT TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,500.

WHEN IT'S A LITTLE COLD OUT AND I START UP MY CAR,MY STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN, IT'S LIKE IT IS LOCKED. UNTIL IT WARMS UP A BIT I CAN'T AND WILL NOT MOVE IT UNTIL IT BECOMES NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OCT. 2019.I UNDERSTAND IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED IT MAY LOCK UP ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT??

A NUMBER OF TIMES THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND MOST RECENT AS OF TODAY WHEN I FIRST CRANK MY CAR AND START TO DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND TAKES TIME BEFORE I CAN TURN. TODAY A STEERING WHEEL LIGHT WITH ! POINT WAS ON AND WHEEL WAS STIFF WHEN FIRST TRYING TO LEAVE. ITS STATIONARY WHEN HAPPENING BUT FEARFUL WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.

REAR VIEW BACK UP CAMERA GETS BLURRY WITH AGE. HARD TO SEE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR, WE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT SPEAKERS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THEY WERE NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. THE ELECTRICAL SPEAKER CONTACTS WERE POINTED UPWARDS WHICH EFFECTIVELY DAMAGED THEM OVER TIME FROM THE MOISTURE ACCUMULATING WITHIN THE FRONT DOORS. BOTH SPEAKERS, PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES, INDICATING THE WIRING ERROR. BOTH WERE REPLACED BY THE SHOP AND AT THEIR SUGGESTION, I AM ALERTING YOU TO THE PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME I GO TO UNBUCKLE MY SEAT BELT IT DOESN'T COME UNDONE WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON. I HAVE TO PUSH THE SEAT BELT FURTHER INTO THE BUCKLE BEFORE IT WILL BECOME UNBUCKLED.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 8/19 WHERE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS INJURED AND NOW I FOUND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEATBELTS. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEATBELT DO NOT TIGHTEN TO KEEP ME FROM BREAKING MY NOSE AND DAMAGING MY C4/C5/C6/C7 IN MY NECK. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND I NO LONGER HAVE IT IN MY POSSESSION. THE ACCIDENT IS WELL DOCUMENTED

MY WIFE WAS PULLING AROUND OUR CUL-DU-SAC TO GO TO THE STORE, WHEN HER 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT ACCELERATED OUT-OF-CONTROL. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO OUR DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE BY PUTTING HEAVY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE WAS CONTINUING TO REV AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. HAVE CALL INTO TOYOTA DEALER, BUT DO WANT TO DRIVE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I JUS STARTED IT IN PARK, AND IT IMMEDIATELY REVVED TO OVER 4000 RPM.

I CAN DRIVE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL

LIGHT ON LONGER THAN NORMAL WHEN START CAR. SOMETIMES STIFF WHEN TURNING WHEEL WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

I WAS DRIVING MY NORMAL COMMUTE TO WORK YESTERDAY (JUNE 6, 2019), HEADING WEST ON BROWARD BLVD AT ABOUT 45 MPH. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS USUAL...EXCEPT NOTHING HAPPENED!! I'M NOT SURE IF IT EVEN SLOWED AT ALL BECAUSE I WAS PANICKING SINCE THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO. I PRESSED DOWN HARDER, AND STILL NOTHING! SO, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO IMPACT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I DID. I WAS SO CONFUSED. IT WAS THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! NOT ONLY THAT. NOW, MY RIGHT LEG IS SORE FROM BRAKING SO HARD, AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SO, MY INSURANCE COMPANY MAY DECLARE MY CAR A TOTAL LOSS. I'M SO FRUSTRATED AND UPSET. I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THE PERSON I HIT WAS OKAY WITH NO INJURIES. I'M ALSO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE, BUT THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY SPENT SO MUCH ON THAT CAR AND CAN'T IMAGINE INCURRING ANOTHER FINANCIAL BURDEN TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE.

STEERING GOES STIFF WITH CAR RUNNING/STATIONARY AND STEERING WARNING LIGHT ON LONGER THAN NORMAL. FEARFUL PROBLEM WILL OCCUR WHILE MOVING
