I have a crack in the dash 1 foot long above the passenger airbag only 15000 miles on truck. Alot of other post are on the internet with same crack or more. It
has always been garaged. I am worried that something will spill and short the airbag. For a truck drove so little and always in the dark this should not happen. Toyota place 9670 trask av garden grove CA asked Toyota to replace it they said it was a defect. Anika from Toyota came to look at a showroom condition truck and said no it is out of warranty. I would have to pay to replace it if I am worried about it. It would be $1000. 00. I do not have the money at this time. They do not care. Called Toyota on same day they said anika said no so that is as good as in stone nothing more to talk about. This is the new Toyota money over safety.

Vehicle was hit with significant impact on front driver's side. Driver sustained facial lacerations, restrained child sustained shoulder/clavicle injury. Minimum estimated damage to vehicle is $7000, neither side curtain or front airbags deployed. Front airbags would have likely prevented injury to driver.
While driving 45 mph down a city road in va. Beach a car on our right hand side entered the intersection making a left hand turn. The car entered the intersection approx. 20-25 feet ahead of us. I immediatley hit the brakes and turned the car to the left as to try and avoid a collision. We ended up t-boning the oncoming vehicle. Our 4-runner was claimed a total lose due to a bend frame. The front end damage was estimated at 4-6 thousand dollars. The full front end and passenger fender were destroyed. Neither airbag deployed. I estimate the mph of impact to be between 35-40 mph.

I was in an auto accident July 6, 2002. I drove a 98' Toyota 4 runner. There were four persons who sustained minor injuries. The airbag seemed to perform as intended, however, to this date I have horrifying plastic material coming from the inside. . . And outside of my cheeks. It has caused very visible patterns to protrude from the skin, constant pain, and desperate efforts to get answers. Though I have been to many doctors, I have failed to escape the research evasive realities of my providers. Labs simply fail to identify, and doctors agree this is a real problem. . . Then send me to someone else who says the same. I have struggled with keeping my hope alive. I am now paying labs I found to conduct studies of the samples. I have also found some very concerning medical articles that mirror my symptoms post auto accident. However, these are from non-english speaking doctors in germany, and japan. I wrote Toyota via-email some time ago. . . Needless to say I have seen no interest on their side. I fear this is a real problem, and someone needs to look into it very seriously! please help me.
