2007 Toyota Tacoma airbags complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 44, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Due to combination of the spiral cable design and characteristics unique to the chassis components of the tacoma, steering wheel vibration ('flutter') caused friction between the flexible flat cable (ffc) and the retainer in the spiral cable assembly in the steering wheel. This occurred in a ffc with sixteen-channel circuits and damaged certain circuits on the flat cable that provides connectivity to the driver's air bag module. As a result, connectivity was lost and the air bag warning lamp illuminated. In addition, the driver's air bag may have become deactivated, causing it to not deploy in the event of a crash. This could increase the risk of injury to the driver. The 2007 toyota tacoma with a ffc with seven channel-circuits have already been recalled for this problem. Indications of a developing problem was first noted through illumination of the airbag warning lamp illuminated after starting the vehicle and rotating the steering wheel. Vehicle mileage was approximately 125,000 miles at that time. Initially the lamp would cycle off and on with the frequency of the lamp in the on position increasing over time. This suggested that the loss of connectivity was a result of increased wear in certain circuits. Eventually the lamp would stay on continuously indicating that all connectivity was lost in the driver's airbag control module. Vehicle was taken to dealer for service at a mileage of 129,094 and the problem was corrected at a cost of $461.83 plus tax.

I recevied an "interim" safety recall notice from toyota but can't get through on their tn (1‑888‑270‑9371) to get any infro. Do you have any update?
The airbag light on dash came on. Toyota dealer indicated the air bag clock spring on the drivers side airbag is broken and the air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident. The vehicle will not pass the state required safety inspection as is. The mechanic indicated this is a defect as opposed to a maintenance issue and the manufacturer should replace the part, however toyota has not issued a recall. I was quoted $600 to replace the part.
Air bag warning light stays on, code indicates defective spiral cable. Seems to be a common defect in newer tacomas and is a serious safety issue since the air bag will not deploy in an accident. Replacing these is apparently a profit maker for toyota, isn't it about time they were made to pay for this defect themselves, via a safety recall? Or do people have to die first?

Air bag light came on. No deployment. Dealer says spiral cable needs replacing inside wheel. $600 to fix. Not covered under warranty.

The air bag light in the dashboard came on at about 48,000 miles. There was no crash or any related incident that could have caused it to come on. There should be a recall for this factory related defect. I hope this complaint will help for a future recall or a solution to this problem.
The air bag light came on while driving. My passenger looked it up in the manual and it stated that the vehicle was to be returned to the dealership as soon as possible for maintenance. The problem turned out to be the spiral cable for the air bag had broken. This is a huge safety issue, as the air bag will not deploy when this cable breaks. Fortunately for me, this happened prior to the expiration of the warranty for passenger restraints, as I see this is a pretty expensive repair. I have looked at this site as well as others and see this is a common problem, and have to wonder why there has not been a recall on this part. Why aren't safety features always covered in all cars, as long as they are on the road?

Airbag light came on dash- took to dealer because manual said to-$450 later I am told is a spiral cable in the steer column needed to be replaced-was told only option was to replace-otherwise, airbag would not deploy and light would stay on dash-warranty should cover this type of thing forever.
