    Takata recall? I have a 2004 tacoma pre-runner 4dr. V-6. My airbag warning light came on approx. Oct. 2014 (50,000 miles). All that i have read so far is that it might be a broken "spiral cable" within the steering wheel. All airbag problems i've seen are with 2005 & newer vehicles? As of dec. 2015 (60,k miles),i still have the problem but have not yet visited a dealership to identify the fault. *js

My passenger's head hit the windshield even though she was wearing a seatbelt (the interior design required me to have the seat positioned quite close to the windshield). *tr

I took it back and they worked on it for several hours and said the only…
