No airbag deployment

I unfortunately wrecked my 2014 tundra Friday afternoon, a guy pulled out from a stop sign and hit me in the driver's door. No airbag deployment of any of them. Anyone else heard of this?

 

Thanks. Yeah I'm fine, just a little sore. If it's totaled, I'm going to replace it with the same exact truck, maybe a newer year, and get the bigger gas tank.

 

Impact force wasn't high enough. Did you body or head fly into the side window?

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear that brother! Glad you're ok!

 

Bingo.. sideways movement didnt go pass the g force for deployment.

 

Sorry to hear man - but glad you are relatively alright!

 

Ouch. Glad you're OK. Sucks to lose a vehicle that way.

 

Airbags are designed to go off when " Necessary "....i see front end hits all the time where airbags have not deployed...and drivers, passengers are not hurt.....its amazing the technology that goes into airbags. I assume you are not hurt ?...Head injury ?

 

Glad your ok bro! Better get a really good medical check up, injuries sometimes show up weeks later.

 

Damn.... Get better...

 

I agree, unless there is damage to structural components we can't see. Always depends on the insurance adjustors and body shop.

 

looking at how much damage there is, it is odd that your airbags did not deploy. when I had my Tacoma, a deer T-boned me and my side airbags went off. that impact caused $10,000 worth of damage

 

Thanks for all the concern and info. My head hit the b-pillar a little. I'm good though. I was just wondering about the airbags, this is the first wreck I've had, in a vehicle with airbags, I was thinking it didn't take much at all for those things to deploy.

 

Good your ok. Be interesting to see how much damage. My daughter let her friend drive her mustang and the insurance adjuster was $400 from being totaled, and that we will need to find someone to fix it. I told him negative buddy, your gonna total it. Just sayin, you know how insurance companies can be. Good luck

 

Yeah I dread dealing with insurance. They drag their ass, question you every which way but loose.

 

Make sure you go after " Diminished Value " !!!!!

 

Ok thanks.

 

^ Great advice! You are going to get dinged on the value of the truck when the day comes to sell/trade with it being in an accident.

Glad you are alright....trucks are replaceable....people not so much.

 

I'd agree, not enough of an impact for airbag deployment. Saved you from the feeling of having been beat by Chuck Norris in a pillow fight. That's the best way I know how to describe it.

 

Thanks for all the advice, especially the deminished value advise. Honestly I'd never heard of it, but I've never wrecked a vehicle where it would've mattered, lol. Makes me feel better about them not totalling it now. I am glad the airbags didn't deploy, I've seen people that have had them deploy, and they look like they got their ass whipped by Chuck Norris, without a pillow. Lol

 

Before.


After. Breaks my heart.

 

The deminished value should be pretty good on my truck. It's 2014 with only 29k miles.

 

Yep !!!...

 

I'm gonna put about a $10,500 estimate on that if they go with all new toyo parts, make sure you tell them you want OE parts on it and if you have s body shop you use don't let the insurance company tell you where to take it
My customers tell me that all the time the ins. Co. Telling them where to take
F-u it's my truck I'll take it where I want
I own my own auto body shop

 

Yeah I've got a body shop I'm gonna use.

 

I am betting 14k in damage! Also I second what everyone else has told you, go after "diminished value" on the truck. Having a "salvage" title decreases the value significantly, if they total it... I doubt they will. However the wreck will decrease its value significantly.
Paint: 4,000
Rear door: 1,000
Driver door:1,500
Front quarter panel:1,500
Hood:1,000
Bed and additional malformations: 1,000
Front end and related equip: 4,000

That is just my guess, I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert or do I clam to be.

 

Lol I probably guessed way too High... I just always assume the worse. Also glad to hear you are OK!

 

i am sure you had no head injury since you didn't mention buying a Ford

glad you are ok ... you can always replace a car!
