We were traveling at approximately 70miles an hour on a divided highway. the cruise control was activated. my husband was driving, i was the passenger. we both were wearing our seat belts. my husband suffered some sort of medical incident causing him to lose control of the vehicle. we crossed through the median, became airborne, crossed two lanes of opposing traffic and headed up a steep incline. the car came to rest on a pile of debris and hung up on a wire fence. my husband suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage from striking something on the dash of the car. when the car stopped he was slumped over the wheel bleeding.. he also suffered a mild l4 compression fracture. at the time of the accident i had ligament damage in the chest area. as a result he was taken by ambulance to the regional hospital and then air-evacuated to las vegas. our side curtain airbags deployed but not the frontal bags. i called toyota and was told that the crash was not severe enough to cause them to nflate but my husband's injuries would tend not to support that. an engineer did remove the "black box" from the vehicle to test it. he promised he would get back to us with the results. when i did not hear from him i called and he told me that all results have been sent to toyota. he was reluctant to say more. i called toyota and was told that several people had looked at the case and that the results had been sent to legal, the attiitude of the people there has gone from helpful to abrupt. my husband is still under the care of a neurologist because of the injury and to determine what cased the incident. they have not been able to determine a cause for his blackout but we have been assured via ct scan that the bleeding has stopped into his brain. if he hit something in the car hard enough to cause this type of injury it seems to me that the airbag should have deployed. .
As i took a highway exit, following behind other cars doing the same, my prius refused to brake efficiently when another car abruptly invaded our line. it felt as if the brakes made a slight release or couldn't reach a full stop. i had enough space to stop, and i pressed the brakes on time but there was almost no brake reaction and i crashed into the truck in front of me. i was probably going 20-30 mph, somewhere in the middle... so not even that fast. best part is that the airbags didn't inflate, even though the car was almost totaled. this feels explainable to me... i had it for only two months thus far. i do not recommend this car to others.
