Engine burning oil

1. I believe my airbags deployed pre-maturely with a soft impact to another vehicle. There was no damage to the other vehicle and no police report needed to be filed. There is a minor damage to my front bumper. 2. The airbags inflated on me, but no medical attention was required. 3. I have not confirmed or reproduced this problem with a professional. 4. My car has not been inspected nor reported to my insurance agency as my coverage only covers liability. 5. No symptoms prior to airbags deploying pre-maturely *Because of the pre-mature deployment of my airbags I am unable to afford the airbags to be reset, as doing so would cost more than the kbb estimated value of my car.

Takata recall?? Airbags failed, during accident. After being cutoff and going down route x. Lost control hiding concrete. Car flipped, was dragged a few feet's - no airbags. Passenger still has anxiety when getting into vehicles-the one thing you'd think would respond didn't. How do we ever get the sense of security back. *Dt *tr

I purchased a red 2005 scion tc for my daughter in february, 2019 from toyota auto nation in davie, fl. They had it priced in good condition, so I expected to get some use out of it. I paid almost $6,000. Month later it overheated on the highway (595) and my daughter had to pull over late at night on the highway and I had to have it towed to my home. Very scary and unsafe situation for a teen. Had it towed back to their service station and it turned out to be a problem, that cost me $600. I find it hard to...

My daughter was driving home from indiana on the interstate when her moon roof over the back seat blew up. She was traveling at around 72 mph when she heard an explosion.
