2015 Toyota Sienna

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT 202 (BUTLER BLVD) IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. MY SPEED WAS 65MPH AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. I WAS DRIVING AND MY SON, CHRISTOPHER, WHO IS DISABLED WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE ROW CENTER IN HIS WHEELCHAIR WHICH WAS ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR BY FOUR TIE-DOWNS. A CAR TRYING TO PASS US IN THE OUTSIDE LEFT LANE HIT MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AND CAUSED US TO SPIN IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER WE CAME OUT OF THE SPIN WE HIT THE CONCRETE BARRIER DIVIDING THE ROADWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT AND FRAME. MY SON AND I WERE SLIGHTLY INJURED BUT NOT TREATED ON THE SCENE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? NOT THE ONES IN THE FRONT OR THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY? THIS IS A CONVERSION ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN ALTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL. I HAVE RE-PURCHASED THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE WORKING? TOYOTA HAS ALREADY PULLED THE "BLACK BOX" AND STARTED THEIR INVESTIGATION. I JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT I GET THE "TRUE" CAUSE OF WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY?

OUR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW RECEIVED AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA YESTERDAY. (SAFETY RECALL G04). APPARENTLY THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE SIENA CAN COME OPEN WHILE THE VAN IS IN MOTION ENDANGERING THE OCCUPANTS. IN THIS CASE, THE OCCUPANTS ARE OUR FOUR YEAR GRANDSON, WHO HAS DOWN SYNDROME, AND THREE YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. TOYOTA HAS DECLINED TO DISCLOSE WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS, INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THIS DEFECT. THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX BUT DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO DISENGAGE THE ELECTRONIC DOORS. WE VIEWED THAT ADDITIONAL COST OPTION AS A SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE FACTOR FOR OUR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. SURELY, A COMPANY WITH THE RESOURCES OF TOYOTA COULD COME UP WITH A FIX CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS NOTICE! MINIVANS ARE GENERALLY DRIVEN BY FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN.
