2000 Toyota Tundra seat belts problems

Filed Mar 17, 2022 · Airbags, Seat belts · ID · crash · 1 injury

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

Front driver side and front passenger side seatbelt tensioners have failed and do not retract the seatbelts. Dealer said is not a recall item. Have washed clean both belts to only minor effect. How is this not a safety issue for toyota and the federal safety agency?

Tensioner extremely slow to retract on driver and passenger side of my 2000 toyota tundra sr five four-wheel-drive. Contacted 1-800 toyota number and told it was not a safety issue although I had had it fixed two times under warranty and to get the dealer to fix it although it is very expensive. Why is this not a vehicle safety issue like on my 2007 prius. Why hasn't the very known toyota seat belt tensioner issue on all toyota, alexis, scion vehicles between 2000 and now been recalled. I don't like taking my life in my hands every time I drive if this is a safety issue.

Seat belt tensioners, ongoing problem. Addressed as service complaints at 25, 797, 26,266, 40,366, 49,331miles on resord and 65k, 80k, 100k and 125k not recorded. Now toyota wont honor the fact that these have become defective yet again. Called their 800 number and was told 80k was the warranty period there is nothing they can do even though this is a known safety related issue...

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.
