2002 Toyota Tundra airbags problems

Filed Nov 12, 2021 · Airbags, Brakes · MD · crash

The Toyota Tundra 2002 truck did NOT deploy driver's side and passenger's side airbags in a collision consisting of frontal and left-sided collision with immobile objects, with frontal/top profound impact from standing tree. The car was up to date on its inspections and maintenance. The breaks, though appropriately checked and tested, would take longer than normal to break the vehicle. The seatbelt, if pulled hard enough, would easily dislodge from buckle, coming undone. The driver of this vehicle collided as described above and due to the failure(s) of the safety mechanisms in place, resulted in the death of the driver. The driver was restrained with seatbelt, however dislodged from buckle upon impact and NO airbags deployed. The issue(s) have been confirmed by the police report, the county police documented. The vehicle has been inspected by police officers, and possibly others, including the employees of the towing company. There was NO indication thats the airbag deployment was either "off" if possible, and or indications of airbag defect. No messages or lights were indicated for the failure of the deployment of the airbags. No messages or lights were indicated for the defect and or failure of the seatbelt not remaining intact with force. The person in reference PASSED AWAY on impact at scene. The failures of the safety mechanisms put into place for this vehicle are absolutely unacceptable and beyond subpar.

I've owned this vehicle for 18 yrs. During that time Air Bags have been replaced on models above and below my year model. Every two or three years, I inquired at Dealerships when this series will be replaced. Always with the same answer, not required because not enough accident reports to warrant replacement. During that time I've only had one small finder bender not affecting the Air Bags to deploy. Curious why this year and model was never required to replace Air Bags?

Air bag light is on and took it to mechanic who said there is a problem with the passenger bag and it is deactivated. This seems to be a problem that many others are also having from the complaints I have read.

Recently had to replace and pay for replacing SRS sensor assembly dtc b0133 short in in p?r squib and b1100 air bag sensor. Old unit serial # 12625229if. I was told that my truck was not on the recall list so toyota would not pay to replace it. Since it is the same issue for the recall, why is my vehicle excluded if it is the same safety concern? I cud have been a victim of this defect. The new unit serial # is 01860095if

Takata recall although currently toyota claims my truck is not included in the recall I have the same air bag warning light that those who are part of the recall have. I searched my make model and year on line and founds hundreds of others who are having airbag issues but we're excluded from the recall.

Takata recall toyota does not recognize that our 2002 toyota tundra has a factory faulty airbag/ seatbelt system, and say that there is no recall for our vehicle, and that we have to pay to fix it. The seat belt is always loose, there is a permanent lit light related to the airbag.

Takata recall my tundra is a 2002 so not currently included in the recall. The airbag warning light came on over a year ago and the mechanic says it is non-functioning, I hear this is a common 2002 problem. They should also be included in the recall.
