Had safety recall performed on air bag, received car back and air bag light popped on. Prior to recall work, no light was on. Returned car 3 times for air bag light issue. I have car back but air bag light still on. Spoke with toyota motor sales USA and they opened case # [xxx] it appears that what ever they replaced, it triggered air bag light. Work performed at pat lobb toyota of mckinney texas. Www.patlobbtoyota.com. Has there been reports of this occurring? Service dept acted very coy when questioned. The customer service rep called me on 9/28/15 @ 3:55pm said he would call me within 1 hour and give me some answers. As of today at 11am, have not received a call back. Thank you for your time. This started in july 2015. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Received safety recall notice approximately sometime november 2013, while living in roseburg, or, regarding "front passenger airbag inflater module" defect in my 2003 toyota tundra . I have made several calls to dealerships on a regular basis to inquire when I would be able to get this recall completed. I received this notice well before the thousands of other vehicles were recalled for air bag issues. I was told I must wait for a second notice before repairs could take place. I need to know what my rights are or what I can do to get my vehicle fixed. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of others.

I received a toyota recall letter on 11/24/2014 that my truck is not safe to drive and to get the passenger airbag replaced. The dealer stated on 11/24/2014 they do not have the parts and cannot fix. I called toyota and they stated the parts will not be available until january 2015 at the earliest. The recall letter states the truck is not safe to drive and I should park it. As my only vehicle how is this possible to have no car for 3 months.
On october 17, 2014 while driving on okla hwy 33 at or about 55 miles per hour, the driver side and the passenger side air bags deployed. The deployment set off the horn and immediately the cabin filled with a fog like residue which in itself can be very startling. The air bag slapped both forearms but luckily I was back far enough it did not reach my face and there was no passenger present. The only physical damage was temporary redness of the forearms and a chronic cough developed later the next day requiring a doctor visit on the 20th of oct. The vehicle has been in the jim norton toyota dealership in okla. City since the 18th of oct. With no determination from gst or tms legal to date.
Traveling on hwy 11. 4 cars ahead suddenly stop. I had 3 choices: hit the car in front of me. Go into on coming traffic, or head off the side of the road into the bayou. Missed the opportunity of the bayou, hit a parked semi tractor trailer. Nothing happened to the tractor trailor. My toyota got severely crunched on the right passenger side. My air bags never went off. I was going 30 miles per hour, and nothing deployed. Now I understand it is a good thing the airbags didn't go off.
