Toyota T100

The contact owns a 1995 Toyota T100. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45-50 MPH, the driver's side air bag unexpectedly deployed. The air bag warning light had illuminated intermittently. The contact stated that there was no impact to the vehicle that could have caused the air bag to deploy. The contact sustained bruising to the left arm, chest, and stomach, but medical attention was not received. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or…

Took my truck to a body shop to have dings and a few rusted spots on it repaired. The business owner and repair person put it on the rack and after examination, informed me that it was not worth the repairs, because the frame and undercarriage was too extensive and might as such cause safety issues. I chose not to have it repaired because of this issue.

The contact owns a 1997 Toyota T100. The contact stated that while performing an oil change on the vehicle, he noticed the sub-frame was corroded. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

Within about 30 seconds of pulling out of my driveway on a dead end street, and thus driving very slowly, the driver's side airbag suddenly exploded. Thankfully there was no one else on the road and I wasn't going at a high speed. The airbag hit me in the face, knocking off my glasses and producing terrible smell and smoke. My left cheek is bruised. The horn went off continually until I was able to turn off the road into another driveway and turn off the engine. There was no warning, no…

I AM A OWNER OF A 1996 TOYOTA T100 WITH SERIOUS RUST ISSUES ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER TRUCK SUCH AS THE TACOMA. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THE T100.

A-ARM SUSPENSION IS VERY RUSTY WITH HOLES RUSTED THROUGH LOWER A-ARMS. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER TIME. NO BREAKAGE AT THIS TIME.

OWNED SINCE 2003, THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 140,000 MILES, BUT MY MECHANIC ADVISES THAT FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT TOYOTA HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL. REAR BUMPER HAS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH. I NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCEED. VEHICLE IS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE.

I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND TURNED THE KEY. THE AIRBAG EXPLODED IN MY FACE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND COMPLETELY STILL. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON AND IT WAS NOT IN GEAR. THE IMPACT OF THE EXPLOSION CAUSED MILD INJURIES. I TRIED TO WORK WITH TOYOTA ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE UNHELPFUL. I CUT THE AIRBAG OFF AND HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE HORN WILL NOT WORK AND OF COURSE I HAVE NO AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK AT THE TIME THAT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.…
