Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Toyota Tacoma

The seatbelt/airbag sensor in the front passenger seat is malfunctioning. The vehicle will not detect a person sitting in the seat, and in turn will not deploy the airbag in the event of an accident.

�takata recall� the steering wheel appears to have a bulge at the airbag seams. Both my personal mechanic and the workers at the Toyota dealership have stated this is a defect involving the airbag where the cover has detached from the sensors or a coil. The separation is internal. The vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and was parked(stationary) when the bulge occurred.

Takata recall: airbag "warning" light on dashboard is on and has been since before I purchased the truck , according to the seller. Not sure if airbag would even operate (doubtful). Also, the "check engine" light is on, scans keep saying it is an emissions problem. Vacuum canister, wiring, oxygen sensor were replaced and light went off temporarily, then stays on even though truck runs fine. Date given below is date I purchased the truck, ongoing problems.

The airbag sensor won't stop blinking. What if there's an accident and the airbags won't deploy? I believe something with the airbag is defective and may be a potential safety issue.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the air bag sensor illuminated. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 12v092000 (air bags) and stated that the parts were not available. The dealer did not provide a specific date as to when the parts would become available. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The air bag sensor came on in my '09 Toyota Tacoma. The vehicle was brought to a mechanic and a diagnostic test was run. The diagnosis was a faulty air bag spiral cable. This identical issue forced a recall of 481,000 Tacomas, including '09 vehicles. However, I was told that my truck did not fall within the VIN # database that is covered by the recall. This is resulting in an out of pocket repair costing $500. I find it hardly coincidental the exact same design flaw that affected nearly 500,000 vehicles just popped up in my vehicle. Without spending the $500, my barely 4 year old truck will not pass inspection in the state of MA. I bought a Tacoma based on it's reputation for reliability. Currently I am breaking the bank just to make it legal to drive on the road.

: the contact stated the frontal airbag sensors pick up radio transmitters. The dealership determined the airbags have a global positioning sensor and a secret surveillance device, which caused the radio transmissions. The manufacturer has been alerted.

Hit a deer on the new york state thruway when traveling about 65 mph. Air bags were not activated. No serious injury to myself but had $7500 damage done to the front of my 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. Was told by repair department that sometimes air bags are not deployed in accidents.

The air bag light would come on only when the vehicle was cold. After I warmed the truck up & stut it off,upon restart every thing was normal. Had diagnostics done at westboro Toyota& found faulty air bag sensor. Charged me 85. 00$. Dealer wanted 425. 00$ to fixsensor & I refused. I called Toyota & they refercened me back to westboro Toyota. I talked to rick tonnilli at the dealer. He was very understanding & told me he was going to talk to the district manager. I was called back in a few days with Toyota picking up the cost of the part & I picking up one hour of labor@ 85. 00$. I agreed to this just to the problem fixed. Westboro Toyota has been very excellent & cooperative & I have no complants from them. My qustion is that with the light on the air bags may not deploy in an accident. This would to be a major safety problem?.

Without warning and at anytime the air bag light goes on and off, and the horn blows out on its own. He had to disconnect the battery because of the horn. Dealer said they would charge the caller for looking for the problem. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.

While traveling at 50 mph car in front of consumer's vehicle suddenly stopped and consumer rear ended the other vehicle. Front of vehicle was pushed in approximately 6 to 8 inches, and none of the airbags deployed. Consumer has contacted dealer, and they said that impact didn't touch airbag sensor. Consumer felt someone could have been seriously injured.
