Faulty Airbags on Toyotas

A Toyota distributor is recalling 3,235 cars in select states. According to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the specific reason for these recalls is airbag sensors that may malfunction.
Southeast Toyota Distributors of Deerfield Beach, Fla., one of several regional distributors that import and prep Toyotas, may not have calibrated the airbag weight sensors. These problems can be found in the front passenger seats of certain 2009-2013 Toyota models. Fortunately only models sold in Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia are affected. Specifically it is only those equipped with seat covers, seat heaters or headrest-mounted LCD screens. No Lexus or Scion models are affected.

The problem is that in an accident, the passenger-side airbag may deploy improperly. The weight sensors determine whether to deploy the airbag if it detects the seat is empty or if a small child is sitting up front. Toyota, is not issuing this specific recall. This is because the distributor is responsible for installing factory accessories. These can include products such as rear DVD entertainment systems, on these vehicles. The distributor said the problem was limited to two employees. Unfortunately the employees were not using the required calibration tools.

The vehicles are as follows: 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius and RAV4, 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser and Highlander,  Hybrid 2010-2013 Corolla, Sienna and Tundra, 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza, 2012 Prius V, 2010-2012 Sequoia

The Dealers will be inspecting and recalibrating these airbag sensors at the beginning of this month. Southeast Toyota Distributors can be reached at 1-954-429-2000, or Toyota can be reached at 1-800-331-4331.

If you or a loved one have been personally injured due to a faulty product such as an airbag, it is necessary to seek legal counsel. These products can cause serious accidents and even death.

Drivers and passengers were involved in a nineteen-vehicle pileup near Agua Dulce, California. Tuesday morning a big-rig truck towing two trailers collided with multiple vehicles. The drivers and passengers said they felt fortunate the massive crash looked worse than it actually was.

Michael Schwartz is a painter and he was traveling with three passengers when his truck was rear-ended. He says, “I would’ve thought when I got out of the car and looked at cars piled on top of each other that there would have been some fatalities or some very serious injuries, and, thank God, there wasn’t,” said Michael Schwartz, a painter who was travelling with three colleagues when his truck was slammed from behind.

Schwartz said he was stopped on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway. He was surprised when he heard squealing breaks and felt a “tremendous impact” followed by three other successive impacts. The crash occurred south of the Escondido Canyon Road exit in the Agua Dulce area. The occurred about 1 mile east of Vasquez Rocks County park.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, fifteen individuals were injured and taken to the hospital. Two additional patients were treated at the scene and released. Fortunately the CHP officials claim that those injured in the accident are expected to make a full recovery. The crash occurred at 9:42 a.m. The roadway was eventually opened at 2 p.m.

The California Highway Patrol’s traffic website stated that 25 tons of sand were involved in the accident. This caused the passengers to be trapped in their vehicles. Photos from the scene showed at least nine cars piled on top of each other.  The vehicles suffered severe damages. Officials on scene said that the big rig was going too fast while traveling around a curve. The truck was not far behind a CHP officers patrol car, which was swerving back and forth in order to slow traffic to create a break so that debris could be cleared from the roadway.

Officials believe something was used to ignite a fast-burning fire that raced through a San Pedro motel. The fire occurred early yesterday. This fire forced one person to jump off the two-story building. This fire seriously burning one person and senta total of 14 people to the hospital.

When the firefighters pulled up to the scene they found one woman in critical condition because she jumped off the building. Other people trapped in the building were also claiming to jump out. A local Los Angeles police officer rushed in to save people trapped inside.  The fire department used ladders to rescue people on the second story.

About 150 firefighters responded and were at the scene. The fire was stopped in about 30 minutes. Detectives and investigators determined arson was likely a part of the incident. According to local neighbors, police and paramedics are routinely called to the location for medical emergencies, fights and drug-related problems.

One man who has lived at the motel for seven years said he wouldn’t be surprised if the fire was started intentionally because there often are fights and problems among management, residents and visitors who come in off the street. The resident, who would not give his name, said he was awake when he heard commotion outside his room at about 3:30 a.m.

The Long Beach chapter of the American Red Cross is currently providing housing and food for the displaced residents. The firefighters were quick to bring them doughnuts while they waited for hours outside the building.  About 20 displaced men, women and teenagers were taken to the Anderson Senior Center.

Monica Zosaya, a local resident said, “My cat was acting weird and I opened the door and smoke just came in. I slammed the door and thought: `Get dressed, get the cat and get out.’ But the doorknob was hot. I went to the window and yelled `help.’ They said to push out the screen, and then they put the ladder up.”

Being a part of a tragic fire can be mentally and physically damaging. It is necessary to seek help after an incident such as this. If you have been in an accident like this it is necessary to reach a personal injury lawyer for a free consultation.
