I had the spiral cable fixed under the airbag recall in 2012. Now the light is on again and they want to charge me $500 to fix the same problem. It seems to me if the fix breaks then there was never really a fix. So i guess now i will be driving without an airbag since i dont have the money to get this fixed. I will never again in my life purchase another toyota and will tell everyone i know to do the same!!

My airbag light came on last week and i found a recall for this issue. I just found out that the recall for the airbag light due to a spiral cable in the steering wheel of my toyota was not covered for my tacoma model. Further diagnostic revealed it is the spiral cable and they are charging me $600.00. They said it is a safety concern and the airbag would not have deployed. *tr

The airbag (srs) light started blinking. A little research has uncovered this to be a common problem. I would think a recall would be in order due to the potential for serious injury if the system did not function in an accident. Why has a recall not been issued? *tr

Called dealer for recall information and was told that there is a pending recall out sometime this summer 2012 but if wanted to repair now would be at my expense. Why no action on known problem. There are even ads on ebay to repair the spiral cable and/or connectors. One such vendor has done hundreds…
