In june of 2018 I went to walker toyota for an airbag recall that they had sent me notices on. While there I asked about a frame recall that several of my friends who have the same vehicle I have told me about. They told me there was no recall on my VIN number for that. So I thought I was in the clear. As we get into fall my friends ask me how my recall on the frame went? Did they spray the frame or replace it. I said they did neither. I told them walker told me there was no recall on that. They all said yes there was. So I started to look into it further and finally got them to admit there was a recall. They then told me that this is something they do not do must have been the reason the tech told me this when I was there for the airbag. Now I know this is a lie because I had a toyota tundra that had a frame recall and walker did the frame replacement. So then after going further they said "oh we do not do the under body spray because we are not licensed by the city to do it". So they gave me the toyota dealership in beavercreek ohio which is pretty close as someone who could do it. So I called them and there was one guy in charge of that and he was not in. But they do not take messages? I called quite a few times after that to try and set appointment which took a while to get. I go to appointment and he says the frame is bad but it is 45 days after the expiration of the recall. A recall that they lied to me about. I contacted toyota and explained everything to them. They looked into it and said sorry but we will be doing nothing. They said they sent me letters of which I do not recall getting. They did send me letters for the airbag every month up until just a couple months ago. Even though that work had been done. So I am now driving a truck they say is unsafe but I cannot afford another. Need help.
On wednesday, february 7, I was driving our 2007 toyota sequoia 4x4 on a rural road that had had fresh snow the night before, but no sand or other road salt was laid down. It is a curvy and hilly road. I had driven on the road an hour earlier with no problems. At approximately 9am, I encountered a patch of ice where there was a curve in the road and my SUV that had brand new michelin tires on collided with a tree that was part of an island in the middle of the road. The tree was approximately 15 inches in diameter. The collision struck directly on left side of engine by headlight'plowing in approximately 9 inches and deflated front tire. Front suspension was broken as is hood ( see picture). No airbags deployed?? I was going approximately 25-30 MPH at impact. My airbag on drivers side was recalled with takata recall and replaced , but I wonder if it was installed properly or wrong? I suffered a concussion and other trauma toyota dealer body shop indicates that all sensors for airbags on frame only and since frame not hit no deployment??
