you could request toyota investigate or hire your own investigator.. but that is your choice. if u didnt have the accident in the first place, you wouldnt be on this rant, but hey.. thats just me

First of all I like your linear way of thinking, inside the box. You've missed the point entirely in that the front of the car literaly caved in to almost the fire wall. The air bags should have deployed. The accident was just that an accident. When you hit black ice like I did you become just a passenger along for the ride.

As far as an investigator is concern, again you missed the point. Toyota should have stepped up to the plate and offered to tear the car apart to find out the failure but they didn't.

Hence me leaving the forum. Narrowed minded and biased individuals who can only belittle and call names. Hope you never have a chance to find out that your air bags don't deploy when they should.

I'd rather airbags be illegal. just like all electronic nannies. You seem to think all electronics are perfect and never ever fail. You couldn't be more wrong.

Stop acting like a 3 year old and blaming toyota. You mentioned black ice, maybe you were going far too fast for the situation. If you were the only one involved in the accident, the only place you need to look at is yourself.

Do you seriously think Toyota has time and ability to voluntarily investigate, free-of-cost and time to you, every single accident that looks peculiar? If your airbags didn't pop and the whole front of the car is as caved as you say it is, then you should just be thankful you got out with minor injuries. If you want to move on to an SUV, that's your choice, but don't bring your garbage excuses to a forum dedicated to a small sub-compact and expect to not have backlash.

If you still want to pursue an investigation, then it's on you to contact Toyota. It's not Toyota's job to know that you've crashed your car.

Here is a shot of my '07 Tacoma after I hit black ice. It flipped and rolled it into a rock cut bank.



The air bag did not deploy and I walked away with belt bruises.

I had a recall notice for the gas pedal in a desk drawer at home. If I was a less than honest person, I probably could have brought a law suit, claiming my pedal got stuck at full throttle on a slick road. Or I could have made a stink about the air bag not deploying. Not my style. I had misjudged the road surface conditions.

I was just glad my seat/shoulder belt worked I was uninjured.
