I was driving behind a Honda Accord going around 65 mph give or take 5 mph, when the car in front of the Honda made a late signal and slow down. By the time I was able to react I rear ended the Honda and crushed the front drivers side of my truck. The seat belts did not lock and the air bags did not deploy. My truck went all the way into the back seat of the Honda. The damage to the front of my truck started at the passenger head light and went all the way across the drivers side and was pushed into the front of the engine. To my knowledge the air bags should of deployed and the seat belts should of locked. If it wasn't for the steering wheel I would of went through the windshield. Also the passenger airbags were on but didn't deploy either.

See pictures at www.bickfordpc.com/Tundra/pic01.jpg... pic17.jpg. I'd like to understand if this is an exception or a design problem. Love the truck otherwise and would like to purchase a new one. Looking for add'L information Toyota is investigating but I have concerns with a company investigating themselves. Thanks, scott.

This truck has defects in the steeing, tires, brakes, airbags, and hadling.at 6244 miles, steer tires were at 6/32(12/32 new)coplained to deler they said normal tire wear, needs rotated! this front end slid, sqeeled, jumps around corners!two eng. Tom superitts&lee hammler from K.C. Corp. Says nothing wrong with truck!there boss steve eisbamrth will now buy me tires but won't admit the is a problem. This offer didn't happen untill I told them I was turing this in to NHTSA, then they wanted to keep me quiet. I am ready to turn this truck back to them because of there bad customer service and bad product. Bottom line on safety corners on wet pavement like on patches of ice when I was involved in accident, brakes vibrated, tires slid, and on impact rt. Bumper bent in to tire rt. Fender creased both air bags did not come out. This truck should go in for further testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (dot number: Ap72ew1123 tiresize: P265/70R16)
