Spiral cable, also called clockspring, failed, identical to other toyota spiral cable failures on other models that were recalled. Another recall needs to be issued that corrects this dangerous problem (it disables the driver airbag and horn) for affected tundra models.

My air bag has never worked even after I brought it into the dealership 5 years ago

I know there was a recall on the airbags for the passenger side a few years ago and everytime I would called to get replaced as promised they did not have any airbags to repair and claim it wasn't that big of a deal you just couldn't have a passenger in your car and eventually they might be able to replace the faulty airbag. I just looked up information again on my truck and now it's not even showing that there was a recall but I do have documentation that they're actually was so I don't know if since they didn't have the parts to replace it it's not a valid recall or why they didn't have to comply with the recall because I think it's funny to not enforce recalls if they are supposed to. Nothing happened because I turned off the passenger airbag so I don't know if it's faulty or what but they refuse to replace it is my point and reason for my complaint I don't remember exactly when the recall was but it was actually a few years ago I have called numerous times to toyota and always been told they don't have parts yet I think that it needs to be reinvestigated

Takata inflators - I haven't heard back from you...... Complaint # 10948526 serviceman was working on the air bag on my truck and service light was on when I left the dealership. This isn't a warranty problem, the serviceman made a mistake and caused the air bad bag light come on.

Takata recall - I got the recall and went to my dealer to have them check it, 4-01-14, (59,317miles) got another recall to replace the inflator air bag part (3-13-15). The air bag check light came on after I left the dealer (3-31-2015). I came back and showed them the check light on for the air bag. The serviceman couldn't find the problem. I waited about an hour and half for them to fix the check light problem. This recall started while my truck was still warranty. The dealer said I'm out of warranty back in 3-31-15 when I showed them the check light and I told them it happened when the serviceman replaced the takata inflator. I'm not going to pay for any of this, they probably just left a wire off. I've been driving my truck since then and I'm afraid the air bag will explode anytime or when I hit a bump. I need a good dealer to fix it and pay for a rental car if I need it. I contacted toyota customer and they said, " ....oh, your were out of warranty when they installed it..". Are these people stupid or what?????

Takata recall: the safety recall notice (remedy notice) from toyota motor sales USA states that the repair will take approx. 2 hours. When scheduling the dealer requires two different visits. One to inspect and disassemble the airbag and then reassembles the airbag. The part is ordered. Another appointment is required to install the repaired airbag or part. There is no mention of two appointments being required to remedy the airbag. Contacting toyota directly confirmed that dealers are informed that this remedy consumers to visit the dealers two times and ordering the part between visits. The toyota representative confirmed that the safety recall notice does not correctly state the time or visits needed to remedy the airbag issue. This needs to be changed and the safety notice needs to correctly inform consumers of the requirement to visit a toyota dealer two times for 2 or more hours each to remedy the issue.
