2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 ext cab pickup. On 12/5/09 I hit an icy patch and went off road and hit a tree. Traveling approx 40 mph. No airbags deployed. Hit the tree in the exact center of the hood of truck. Vehicle was a total loss. Subsequent inquiries to Toyota have resulted in two explanations for non-deployment. A) airbags are designed to go off on rapid deceleration (I told them I hit a tree) b) airbags are designed to go off when the engine breaches the firewall and enters the cab (I told them if the engine was coming into the cab, I would be screwed) they sent me a NHTSA airbag brochure that pretty much told me what I already know about airbags and totally contradicted what they told me about airbags. I know there was a recall of 05 & 06 mechanisms. Maybe I got an early 07 that used one. I don't know. I am not buying a Toyota anymore.
Accelerator seemed to stick under normal driving conditions. . . Engine revs would not go to normal idle even in neutral. . . Brakes would not stop the vehicle at the high revs. . . Only solution was to put the car in neutral and shut the engine off. . . After working the gas pedal while in park, the engine idle speed went back to normal. . .
