1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2016 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 03/03/2021

I bought the vehicle and realized when I was sold the vehicle the passenger airbag off indicator was on but I thought it would be a quick connection error. The front driver side headlight is very dim and does not illuminate well. I contacted crown Dodge of fayetteville and they told me they can't do anything. This was a little over a month after because life happens and I work with the military. I don't have a regular schedule. I do have a warranty but I'm not using my warranty to cover something they should fix. When I called to talk to a sales manager no one would answer it rang and rang. The computer on the vehicle will show the air bag sensor at least.

3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2009 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 10/16/2020

Cruise control became finicky spring/summer 2019. I found articles stating that it could be the clockspring/spiral cable. I replaced the clockspring and that fixed the cruise control issue, but it caused my airbag light to turn on. I have been driving around with the airbag light on for the last year and a half. Over that time, the radio controls on the steering wheel have quit working (first the volume, then the channel, and the mode buttons). These haven't been working for at least 3 months now. Just yesterday, the cruise control went out completely. No warning signs or acting up. It just quit. From what research I have done, this issue was handled under a recall, but the recall only applies to the Tacoma models without audio controls on the steering wheel. Has that changed at all? why were not all versions/configurations covered?.

4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 09/09/2020

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.

Failure Date: 11/12/2018

The airbag light just turned on. Cruise control on steering wheel is not functioning, audio control on steering not working also and lastly the horn is not working also. Looks like a spiral cable problem based on the symptom and validation of discussion group online. Checked for recall here and seen my VIN number on the range for recall. Why did I not received any recall notice on this. Not sure if the vehicle is unsafe to drive considering the airbag deployed light is on or if this will affect the airbag deloyment if needed. This happened just recently and there are issues similar to my case. Hope it can be fixed by Toyota.

Failure Date: 10/27/2018

I was driving down the interstate going about 75 mph and my driver side and rear passenger side curtain airbags deployed spontaneously. I didn't hit anyone or anything. It just deployed for no reason and causing me to almost crash into nearby cars on the highway. There were no alarm indicators stating that I had any issues or that I needed to service my Tacoma. When the airbags deployed I was able to keep the Tacoma stable and I noticed that I started losing speed even when I had my foot on the gas. I eventually coasted to the shoulder of the highway before coming to a dead stop.

32 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2002 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 10/18/2013

Dear [xxx], I sincerely appreciate your email but I am completely satisfied with my 2002 Toyota Tacoma pick up truck at the moment with 134,000 miles as of today. The problem lies with the ?defective air bags and defective computer air bag. ? over a year ago, this was accessed from haley located off rt 288 and the air bag light was coming on at that time. I paid for a diagnostic testing and it should have been resolved then, not to reoccur a year later. In any case, if a Toyota vehicle has defective parts such as the air bag and its computer that is the responsibility of the manufacturer to replace the part and absorb the labor and costs involved to do so not at the expense of the client. The client did not cause the problem, it is a defect in the manufacturing of the vehicle. The problem I am now facing is that haley Toyota wants me to absorb this cost of parts and labor to the tune of $711. 00 for a defective air bag. I have not been in contact with an attorney specializing in auto injury, but with some research and taking with a friend of mine who is a lawyer; he highly suggests that unless Toyota replaces the parts and labor at their expense that I should proceed with hiring an attorney and explain what is going on with the air bag and what haley has said. For haley to dismiss this defective part and say that they cannot be responsible is in itself an ?egregious? remark for which they can be liable for if something were to happen while the passenger is driving the car/truck in questioned. Infact, they should never have allowed me to leave the premise this past Friday knowing all of this, because if a major accident were to happen they would be totally responsible as well as Toyota itself. Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
