Hit a power pole going 55mp,broke the pole in half.Airbags did not deploy,seat belt did not engage.I hit my face on the glass and the steering wheel,nearly broke my face.My dog was in the back thankfully.My hips took the brunt of the impact, they still hurt. A Idaho state trooper investigated with video showing our totaled truck around a broken pole, no air bag or seat belt employed,My smashed face covered in blood. Did a little research and found that our 2000 tundra isnt in a recall???What does it take to set off a tundra airbag?? Also found out that I should be thankful it didnt go off or I may have been injured by a discharge of schrapnel??Found several victims of that. My wife takes a blood thinner and often goes with me to town,but now shes not going to be able to safely ride in her own vehicle anymore?? This reminds me of how CPS drops the ball and just lets kids die before they ever do anything. I will be doing alot more with my pen as my sword my video as my witness,I loved my tundra but this is more way more dangerous than my 1990 truck with basic mechanics.If you have a tundra or other vehicle that is dangerous ,speak out about it,get an attorney,Save SOMEONES LIFE.These are dangerous airbags,no doubt in my mind. Ps Our truck is 100% unmodified other than tire changes.Now a death trap, until this is resolved

I was driving behind a honda accord going around 65 MPH give or take 5 MPH, when the car in front of the honda made a late signal and slow down. By the time I was able to react I rear ended the honda and crushed the front drivers side of my truck. The seat belts did not lock and the air bags did not deploy. My truck went all the way into the back seat of the honda. The damage to the front of my truck started at the passenger head light and went all the way across the drivers side and was pushed into the front of the engine. To my knowledge the air bags should of deployed and the seat belts should of locked. If it wasn't for the steering wheel I would of went through the windshield. Also the passenger airbags were on but didn't deploy either.
Purchased 2000 toyota tundra in 2004 with ABS light on and rear end noise. Truck vibrates significantly when break is used down hill. Toyota agreed to inspect and repair if any problem existed. Toyota states that the noise was a parking brake cable and the breaks should be used "smoothly", taking care not to hit it too hard. The day after pick up from service department a major accident occured when at 45 MPH the brakes locked up causing vehicle to slide 75 feet impacting two other vehicles that were totaled out. The tundra rear-ended a small car. Dammage was to the upper left side of the tundra and all the way to the middle of the engine area, as the top of the tundra was forced into a downward position by the left front tire locking up. No air bag deployed. Not the driver or passenger side. 3 minor injuries to 3 people inside tundra. Neck injury to driver of first vehicle impacted. Toyota verbally stated to family member that they knew it was a problem. Body work finnished and insurance paid bill. Breaks still lock up even at low speeds. Using breaks on a hill cause truck to shake. Break pads replaced and breaks still do not function as required. Toyota denies any problem with breaks.
