2005 Toyota Tundra Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated his wife was driving on the highway at approximately 40 MPH when she hit a patch of ice and spun out of control crashing into an embankment on the rear driver side. As a result, the rear driver side tire was pushed back out of place about an inch and a half causing the control arm to become bent. The air bags did not deploy. The wife was not injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven from the scene. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was currently being repaired at a body shop for cosmetic repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 215,000

MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP IS NOT RESPONSIVE IN TRYING TO REMEDY THE AIR BAG ISSUE. I'M RECEIVING MULTIPLE REMINDERS TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALLS. I HAVE 2 OUTSTANDING ISSUES. I CALLED AUTONATION TOYOTA IN HAYWARD, CA. THEY SAID THEY'D CALL ME BACK AS THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS. ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER, I CALLED TO FOLLOW-UP AS THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT IT SHOWS IN THEIR RECORDS THAT THEY SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND REMEDIED THE ISSUE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ONLINE RECORDS, IT SHOWS THAT THE 2 RECALLS ARE STILL UNREMEDIED. ALSO, I WOULD KNOW IF I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIR. I TALKED TO A PERSON NAMED JULIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V741000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED STREET TOYOTA (4500 S. SONCY RD, AMARILLO, TX 79119, (806)355-9846 WHO STATED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AIR BAG RECALL. ALAN JAY TOYOTA REMOVED ORIGINAL AIR BAG BECAUSE OF RECALL THEN REPLACE AIR GAB WITH A USED SALVAGE AIR BAG. AFTER I COMPLAINED TO MANAGER, THEY TRIED TO CLEAN UP AIR BAG COVER SO IT WOULD MATCH DASH. THEY COULDN'T GET CLEAN OR REMOVE THE STICKY TACKY SUBSTANCE ON COVER. THEY SAID IT WAS A NEW AIR BAG AND THAT WAS THE WAY THEY COME OR MUST OF GOTTEN DIRTY INSTALLING. I SAID I DON'T BELIEVE THAT EXPLANATION SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW AIR BAG. ON A FOLLOW UP CALL TO GET NEW AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY SAY NOW THEY WANT TO CLEAN IT UP AGAIN AND PAINT TO MATCH DASH COLOR. THE PHOTOS ARE AFTER THEY CLEANED AIR BAG COVER AND SAID IT WAS BRAND NEW. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS THE WAY THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS INTENDED SO THEREFORE I AM COMPLAINING.

I'M UNABLE TO GET A URGENT SAFETY RECALLED AIRBAG REPLACED ON MY TOYOTA TRUCK. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY ARE ONLY 'ALLOTTED' SO MANY AIRBAGS....

DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO SERVICE. SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT EFFECTIVE. I RECEIVED INFORMATION STATING OTHERWISE?

TAKATA RECALL--WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR RECALL OF SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DISTRESSED REGARDING THE TAKATA BAGS CONTAINING SHRAPNEL-LIKE SUBSTANCES & TOLD REPLACEMENT BAG IN PASSENGER SIDE (THAT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE) IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED AS WE TRANSPORT GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO OUR FAMILY & WE WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE SAFE. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE RUSTING. WE GOT THE SPRAY DONE ON THAT. WHEN WILL THIS VEHICLE BE SAFE? IT HAS BEEN RELIABLE, JUST VERY STRESSFUL REGARDING SAFTEY ISSUES.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON OR AROUND AUGUST 23, 2016 I CALLED A TOLL FREE PHONE NUMBER EITHER OFF A RECALL NOTIFICATION FLYER I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL OR FROM A VOICE MESSAGE ON OUR HOME PHONE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. THEY ASKED WHERE I WANTED MY VEHICLE FIXED AND I CHOSE WILDE TOYOTA (3225 S 108TH ST, WEST ALLIS, WI) SINCE THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND HAVE DONE A VARIETY OF REPAIRS ON THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES. THE OPERATOR CALLED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I WAS NOTIFIED THE PART WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. I WASN'T GIVEN ANY TIME FRAME, BUT I ASSUMED IT COULDN'T TAKE LONG. I CALLED WILDE TOYOTA TODAY (SEPTEMBER 13, 2016), AND I WAS INFORMED IT WAS ORDERED AS PROMISED, BUT IT WOULD TAKE 3 MONTHS!! I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOW DOES TOYOTA EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BE USED FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT ALLOWING A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T HAVE AN INVENTORY ON HAND TO HANDLE QUICK TURNAROUND. I UNDERSTAND IT COULD BE HARD TO MANAGE , BUT 3 MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS.

HORN, AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ON DO TO A BAD SPIRAL CABLE, THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL DATE WAS 2 FEBRUARY 2016. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL ON 3 MARCH 2016. IT IS NOW THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2016 AND STILL NO FIX. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE TIME ELEMENT.
