Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2005 Toyota 4Runner

The frame on my 2005 Toyota 4runner is severely rusted. I have had multiple pieces fall off my SUV, some while driving. This includes the front skid plate, transmission lines, and other small components. The frame on my SUV is coming apart. Rather large pieces are �flaking� off. It is plain to see where the metal is separating. I recently discovered that the front impact sensors have rusted loose of the frame and are now dangling free. This leaves my SUV susceptible to the airbags not inflating during a front-end crash. The above has been occurring over the last few years. I have opened case #1707170870 with Toyota, but they have told me that there is no remedy for my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota 4 runner. The contact stated that when the air bag sensor light came on, the light disabled the air bags. The contact spoke with Toyota and they would not repair the air bag sensor. The contact stated that a local dealer was able to repair the vehicle after one year. The current mileage was 19,000. The failure mileage was 9,310. The consumer took the vehicle to another dealer after the first dealer was unable to correct the problem after several visits. The second dealer installed a new sensor. The consumer stated the problem was resolved. Updated 03/26/10.
