Toyota Yaris Crash

[mckulley1]

If you purchase a vehicle with safety devices, then those safety devices should work properly.

If this is your attitudes then I hope each of you get into an accident and your air bags do not deploy. Then you can tell me how you feel about a safety device that does not properly operate!

I did not realize it was such a privilege to drive a Yaris that I should be "just happy" to be alive. I figured it also involved getting what you pay for!!!

What an asshat you are for wishing anyone here get into an accident. I have been in an accident with a Yaris....a 3-door hatchback like yours and while it sucks, the car did it's job. I walked away but the Yaris was totalled. Your husband (or whoever) walked away too.....walked away meaning did not die or have limbs ripped off, etc.

The fact that your airbags did not delpoy had no effect on the outcome of the collision....someone was going to get hurt (and being a small car it was likely to be the Yaris driver). You really should be channeling this energy towards the real cause of the accident, which evidently was someone else doing something stupid. THAT is why your husband is injured, not because the airbag didn't inflate.

I have a feeling you would be here admonishing airbags if they had gone off and as a result your husband was more severly injured or even killed. I guess it's the old "who can I blame" scenario. Just chalk it up to "shit happens" and move on.

Geez.....aren't YOU nice!!! Have you ever stopped to think if the airbags deployed he might have been killed by them? I love my Yaris and you aren't changing my mind about it!!!

Your car's safety systems worked as they were designed to. Airbags, seat belts and other safety devices don't prevent all injuries from occurring, they minimize them. Other factor come into play and your husband's injuries could have resulted from any number of reasons. Maybe next time do a little more research on the topic before you post slanderous accusations.

There are numerous threads on here concerning Yaris that have been in bad accidents, and in no cases were the safety features of the car found to malfunction. I don't know what your agenda is but if you think you're going to convince anyone on here that there is a serious fault with the safety system in our cars, you are wasting your time.
