The air bag sensor came on in my '09 toyota tacoma. The vehicle was brought to a mechanic and a diagnostic test was run. The diagnosis was a faulty air bag spiral cable. This identical issue forced a recall of 481,000 tacomas, including '09 vehicles. However, i was told that my truck did not fall within the vin # database that is covered by the recall. This is resulting in an out of pocket repair costing $500. I…

That recall applies only to 7 channel circuit spiral cables and not the 16 channel ones. The 7 channel circuits are steering wheels without the audio controls, where the 16 channel…

I have exactly the same problem with read leaf springs as everybody else- the rear is sagging and and the front end is starting to rise(excessive tire wear) my truck has 66,000 miles and it only carries a 210lb vintage dirtbike 5 or 6 times a year. Do people have to start dying like gm's ignition switch before someone in the federal govt gets off their rear end and actually does their job? Also spiral cable recall…

Since fiddling with the radio usually makes it eventually start working again, it is a distraction hazard. I have drifted over the yellow line trying to get it working again. The dealer has acknowledged…
