NHTSA Complaint #10380891 — 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. HE TOOK HIS EYES OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS IN OUR 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY HUSBAND HIT HIS CHIN ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIS HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD. HE RECEIVED 16 STAPLES AND 12 STITCHES IN HIS HEAD, 5 STITCHED IN HIS TONGUE AND IS BEING TREATED FOR NECK INJURIES. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE AND I PRESUME THE CAR WILL BE TOTALED. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED GIVEN THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE AND THE LOCATION THAT THE CAR WAS HIT. *TR
