NHTSA complaint #10477265, filed 2012-09, 41,264 miles“I took my Tundra into the dealership where I bought it, for the power window motor recall. The airbag light had been coming on for about a year. They informed me that that means the airbag is inoperable. I asked them to check and tell me what the issue was. They ran a check,(code b1801) and said to rule out some other problem they would first have to change out the spiral cable assembly, at my cost. Apparently that fixed the issue. It seems odd to me that with 8 million spiral cable assembly's under recall, that that would be the issue here, and it is not covered by the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10668193, filed 2014-12, 107,060 miles“I was involved in a car accident where a full size dodge ram pick up hit me on the driver's side of my Toyota. It hit me on the front fender and slightly on the front of the door. When I was hit on the side my side air bags did not deploy. When I was hit my head it the driver's side window and knocked me out. Which in turn my truck was still in motion while I was knocked out and I proceeded to go through a ladies yard and came to a stop once it hit her shed head on, which those air bags did not deploy either. I had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital have a ct scan done. …”
