Our son hit a guardrail and the airbags didn't deploy. Accident and failure was reported to insurance company
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR OTHER TOYOTA TACOMAS FOR AN AIR BAG SPIRAL ASSEMBLY HOWEVER MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE CABLE AND CONNECTIONS WERE RUSTY AND THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT FUNCTION IN A CRASH UNLESS THE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE CABLE REPLACED.
AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED DISABLING THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY CAUSING SEVERE INJURY DURING A COLLISION. DEALERSHIP INSPECTION REVEALED FAILURE IN THE AIRBAG SPIRAL CABLE, AN EXISTING KNOWN FAULT RECALLED ON OTHER 2010 MODEL YEAR TACOMAS BY TOYOTA. THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2014 TOYOTA RECALL OF 2009-2010 FOR SPIRAL CABLE FAILURE. TOYOTA CURRENTLY HAS NO PLANS TO EXPAND THEIR PREVIOUS RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON OTHER AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY HORN QUIT WORKING AND MY AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON AND I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
I HIT A PARKED CAR WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.I SUFFERED MAJOR INJURYS. I HAD A CONCUSIN AND SUBDURAL HEMOTOMA AND HAD STITCHES IN MY MOUTH. THE AIR BAG WOULD HAVE SAVED ME ALOT OF PAIN
PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE LATCH IS ASSEMBLED BACKWARDS. NOTE THIS IS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE I BOUGHT IN NOV 2016, WITH 41,000 MILES FROM CARLSON TOYOTA. I JUST NOTICED THE ISSUE.
TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL ON TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUPS? DATED NEW IN YEAR 2010.
THE SEAT BELT WAS FIXED 12/18/2015, AS IT WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX IT.
I WAS BELTED IN AND HIT A STREET SIGN THEN A 6 FOOT TALL STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN JUST ABOUT SAND HILL AND THEN A TREE. IMPACT WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO BRAKE MY BACK FOR SUDDEN STOP. THE ACCIDENT WAS MAY 5, 2016 AND IT WAS A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT BUT THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY AIRBAG INSTEAD OF SNAPPING MY BACK.. I HAVE HAD SERIOUS MEMORY LOSS DUE TO PRIOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS. I LOVE TOYOTA BUT I BELIEVE SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG THAT NIGHT AS IMPACT SHOULD HAVE SET OFF DRIVER AIRBAG. MY PASSENGERS DIDN'T BUCKLE UP BUT I DID AND I WAS HURT THE WORSE.. OH AND YES I AM EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY OR LAW FIRM TO KNOW IF I NEED A LAWYER OR NOT. THANK YOU ..
