Tundra 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,120 miles
The contact owned a 2013 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle had run a red light and crashed into the front grill assembly of the contact's vehicle then the other vehicle spun and crashed into the driver side of the contact's vehicle. The contact's front driver seat moved inadvertently towards the steering wheel but the seat belt did not prevent the contact's neck, chest, and stomach from slamming into the steering wheel. The contact heard a loud bang and the air bags deployed, filling the inside of the vehicle with a powder substance. The contact and passenger were transported to the hospital by ambulance with injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened but the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall for the air bags associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was 72,120. Consumer stated driver airbag exploded before it could inflate. Driver was injured.

Horn does not work when a road hazard was presented attempted to utilize horn nothing happened when I took to Toyota they said it is the wiring harness from the airbag around the steering column and is not covered under warranty and is not a recall but when I look up online many people for years have had issues with this problem was sent away driving my vehicle which I believe to be unsafe as if I don't have airbags or a horn not sure that my vehicle is legal to be driven at this point I feel that since these are safety issues they should be recalls as it has happened to many people I have only owned my truck since December I picked it up at the very end of December 2019.

Tundra

  • 9,000 miles
On 08/22/14, I had been to the local Toyota dealership to have my oil changed. I asked them to look at the brakes because there was a terrible vibration and the brakes have not stopped well since I bought the truck. They said the truck needed new brakes, rotors and pads all the way around. I was supposed to take it back on 08/29/14. On 08/28/14 while driving on a clear road with no rain or clouds I went to stop and I pushed the brakes to the floor with both feet and the truck did not stop and I hit another car. I have filed a complaint with Toyota and they finally ordered an inspector to get the black box from my truck. He has not called to schedule this and it is 3 weeks later. I have left message after message. I believe the brakes are faulty with the truck. There is no reason at 9000 miles on a new truck that it should need new brakes, rotors and pad all the way around. Now I am waiting on engineering analysis association to contact me to set up an inspection of my truck. No one is willing to help me get information, not Toyota and not eaa.
