I started the vehicle, proceeded forward in a strait line, reached +/- 15 MPH and the side curtain airbags deployed. I did not hit anything, was not hit and did not roll the vehicle. The ground was very smooth/flat. I received neck injuries and have had headaches ever since. My passenger received whip lash and has lost most of his hearing in his right ear permanently. It took 43 days for a response from toyota (corporate). There position is that there airbag deployment system can not fail. There are 2 additional witnesses beside the driver/passenger who were standing just outside the vehicle when it happened. Toyota has not talked to any witnesses nor asked any questions. They have simply maintained that their system can't fail and are refusing to fix the vehicle. I will have to pay for the seatbelts to be replaced out of my pocket but can't afford to replace the airbags or headliner (approximately an additional $6,000).
2005 toyota tundra limited, I was hit back right middle of tire, caving in truck bed, losing complete control of vehicle, axle and transmission dismantled, went into a 360 spin with back tires completely bent and no control. Then hit head on at a high rate of speed over 35-45 MPH. With air-bags not going off! Truck was completely rebuilt with hidden cost not released to me. Resulting in truck being rebuilt, when it should've been totaled-out. Still waiting major back surgery after 15 months, loss of work. Insurance companies "hiding" hidden bills that would made my truck over 80% totaled. I need answers and help on why my air bags didn't deploy saving my life I once had, and bills that I didn't have! And yet toyota signs off on my car saying it's safe to drive again with my children on the highways. And now front-end bearings are the #2 recall for the truck resulting in more damage and cost and safety to my family. Please help, if anyone has had problems with air-bag deployment not going off on this state of the art toyota tundra truck!

Tl* - the contact called regarding a recall for a safety seat. The recall stated the one should manually turn off the air bags if the child sat in the front passenger seat. Because this vehicle did not have a manual switch the contact stated the recall should state if one did not have a switch then he should have an on -off airbag switch installed. *ak updated 03/30/07.
