| Defect Summary | On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. in this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash. | |||||||||||||||

| Srs inidcator light appeared on dashboard. i drove 100 miles to nearest dealer who could dignose airbag issues. i was told the spiral cable failed and therefore needed to be replaced. quoted $400 for part, plus 1.5 hrs of labor, so a total near $600. called toyota and they told me sorry! but would do nothing about it. i've been driving without a working air bag for almost 2 months now, simply bc i can't afford $600 for something i didn't break. mileage was near 90000 miles when srs light came on. from reading this website, obviously a recall is needed. toyota just announced a similar issue (spiral cable) recall for the 2006 highlander, so i'm assuming the tacoma is next in line! if not, it will be hefty lawsuit when airbags aren't deploying bc of an oversight from toyota. | |||

| I was operating the vehicle on the highway at about 70 mph and the airbag light (airbag srs warning! according to the manual on the truck) came on. i immediately took it to the dealership because i was literally minutes away. the service technician knew exactly what repair needed to be made without even doing an inspection. i was informed that the spiral cable either shorted out or broke, and that my airbags would not function until the $400.00 part was replaced plus the cost of labor because my truck is no longer under warranty. i don't feel that a component as vital to the driver and passenger's safety as the airbag is should be subject to costly repairs unless it's actually been deployed. the vehicle has never been in an accident. nothing has been done to correct the problem as of yet, it only became an issue today. *tr | |||

| We purchased a 2006 tacoma on dec. 23, 2008 from competition toyota in new york. we drove the truck back to wisconsin that day. two days after purchase date (approx. 1500 miles later), the airbag light came on. having a busy schedule, and not using the truck much, we brought the truck into marquart toyota in eau claire, wi on march 18, 2009. they assured me that it would be covered under warranty as long as it were an airbag problem. turns out they charged us with $94.95 for the problem to be diagnosed. a spiral coil that allows the steering wheel to turn while still keeping the airbag connected broke. they quoted me $483.19 for the repair of this coil. due to this broken coil, none of the airbags in the truck work. i called toyota customer service to resolve this issue. after two weeks of deliberating, toyota told me that this would not be covered under warranty. i reminded the representative whom i was speaking with that all safety related defects are to be covered in entirety by the manufacturer. none of the airbags in this truck work because of this coil, sounds like a safety defect to me. *tr | |||

| 2006 toyota tacoma sr5 dbl cab, 6 cyl, 4.0 eng. 65k miles, 2 wheel drive, automatic transmission: driver side airbag light turned on and stays on. i have searched the internet for info. on it and have found a lot of people have been having this problem. i had it reset by a couple of different shops and the light comes back on. going by the info. found on line, from google to newsgroups. the toyota dealers are just charging for the same work done and not admitting a product defect. i am taking mine to the dealer and is $117.00 just to diagnose it.. and i know this takes them 10 min or less to hook it up to the computer and get the error codes printed. we the consumers need some help. and i and i'm sure everyone else that has been having this problem would greatly appreciate if someone can look into it. i know there is a recall for the side curtain airbags.. but i don't think mine is equipped with those. i have even read that there have been instances where the bag deploys for no reason, while the truck is been driven with that light on.. i'm guessing not all of us can afford having this corrected as soon as the light turns on. thank you oscar | |||

| Air bag light stays on. i have owned 5 toyotas and my air bag light has never come on. took vehicle to toyota of redlands, calif on 1/28/2020 for check. they reported that the spiral cable has failed. cost to replace $523. as i stated i have owned 5 toyotas and have never had this problem. i believe thepart to be defective and it should be investigated by your organization. toyota should be made to replace defective air bag system parts up to 100k miles of a vehicle. can you tell me if there has been many problems of this nature reported and if so do i have any recourse with toyota. thank you. *tr | |||
