I found this page after looking for safety information on a 2004 Camry. While sitting still at a constrution site, last week, a woman (in an 04 LaSabre) hit me from behind going 55 mph. I thought there were airbag sensors in the rear. Guess I was wrong. My seat actually broke. I am a big guy at 6'4", 250, but I thought the seat would take more than that.
I went to look at the new Avalon this evening. They have a knee airbag, but again it only works for frontal or side impact. They say the airbags will deploy if two wheels come off the ground. Everything sounds great, but what about rear impact protection. I was carried away from the accident on a backboard. No broken bones, but it will takes weeks to heal.
Why don't the car companies show ratings on rear end collisions?
