Without any warning or other indication, as I was driving, the red seat belt light came on and would not go off even after all passengers were wearing seat belts. I took it to a shop where they were unable to pull up a code for the light and stated they could not find a reason for the light to remain on. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they were unable to assist or find a reason stating that it was my problem and I would need to pay for any repairs to the component. Recently, during a u joint repair, the shop I take my vehicle's to warned me that the airbag would not deploy if I were to be involved in an accident. They stated that the red indicator light is showing me that there is not an active airbag system. I'd like to know if there is a pattern with this particular make or model as there seems to be quite a few issues with toyota truck models at the moment. My daughter also drives a 2006 tacoma and was reimbursed for her spiral cable repair expenditure.
