#10923747 | November 2, 2016 Crash

I ONLY HAD MY 1999 CAMRY FOR 5 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE WHEN THE WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULDN'T TURN. I TRIED TO STOP BUT COULDN'T AND RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN CAUSING ME TO SPIN AROUND AND THEN HIT THE MEDIAN AGAIN. BOTH AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOT WHERE IT WAS DECLARED "TOTALED." NO ONE OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. I HAD MY CAR FOR ONLY 5 DAYS AND IT MALFUNCTIONED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH, WHEN ANOTHER CAR RAN A STOP SIGN. I T-BONED THE OTHER CAR AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. MY BREAST BONE WAS BROKEN DUE TO MY BODY'S IMPACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM ONLY REPORTING THIS INCIDENT NOW BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE I READ ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING ACCIDENTS. *TR

#10480607 | October 15, 2012 Crash

MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING NORTH AT 40 MPH, AND SHE TURNED AROUND BRIEFLY TO CHECK IF HER LITTLE BROTHER WAS BUCKLED IN HIS SEAT BELT. WHEN SHE TURN BACK AROUND THE CAR WAS ON THE CURVE AND SHE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS SHE COULD TO STOP THE CAR, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP AND PRECEDED TO ACCELERATE. SHE WENT THROUGH PARTIALLY TWO BRICK WALLS, KNOCKED DOWN A STOP AND STREET SIGN, AND THE CAR FLIPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE CAR ENDED UP LANDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LEAVING THE CAR LEFT SIDE UP. MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, AND HER KNEES WERE CUT FROM THE GLASS OF THE WINDOW IN A RESULT OF THE CAR CRASHING. LUCKILY, MY SON SUFFERED NO INJURIES. I AM VERY CONCERNED, WHY DID THE BRAKES FAIL IN MY DAUGHTER'S ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR
