| I lost control of my truck when the driver front tire deflated. this occurred as i was taking an off ramp on to another freeway. this caused me to bounce off the hollow tubes in front of the concert divider. my 2002 toyota tacoma will require over $8k to repair. the driver and passenger airbags never deployed in my single cab truck. the damage taken was on the front driver fender/bumper (i have pictures) clearly the airbags should have deployed but failed. this caused me to slam into the steering wheel upon impact. *tr | |||

| Airbag warning light has been flashing for about 6 months . this is a 2002 tacoma extended cab pick-up truck with 56k miles. dealer says $200.00 to diagnose. costs to remedy airbag problem could be as much as $500.00 to $600.00, perhaps more. dealer states airbag will not deploy but is not sure of what is really the problem until the dianosis is completed. my question is; why this problem with a truck with low mileage and taken to dealer since new for all required maintenance. | |||

| Topic: drivers-side airbag failure.nfortunately, i was in an accident, which i was cited. fortunately, no one was seriously injured. i impacted the rear of a stattionary car at approx. 50mph and my airbag failed to deploy. i thank the lord nobody was hurt. but, what if someone was injured, the manufacturer would clearly be liable. i contacted the manufacturer about the incident. thier representative reported the sensors were not triggered, therefore, the air bag did not deploy. i feel this is an insufficient explaination and i need further information. *ak | |||

| I was involved in a accident on the freeway, i was stopped in traffic when i was hit from behind and forced into the vehicle in front of me, there was alot of damage done to my vehicle and the other vehicles involved. i have concerns about my air bags not deploying. i was hit in the are maked in my owners manual that informs you as to where the area would have to be hit for them to deploy, i was also trveling at a speed that would have been sufficent for them to deploy . i recieved minor injuries, just a lot of brusies and muscle strains, but none the less if it had been a more sevire accident it would be nice to know that the air bags are funcitional.*ak | |||
