Unable to get toyota air bag recall fixed.. i called & have schedule 2 times( past months), and this morning ,to check status on appointment.toyota,did not have records of an appointment.scheduled appointment lost! tried to get my tundra into dealer this morning.... they said that.they would call me back,... is that something to be concerned??

We have been trying to get the air bag replacements for the recall done. so far none are available. we received the recall letter from toyota and it has the warning not to let anyone ride in the passenger side. this has made our vehicle unable to be used for most of 2015. we only put 1,000 miles on it. with them giving us the warning the vehicle is not safe and if we were to have an accident toyota's liability would be void since they sent out a notification letter per our attorney. i want them to buy back our vehicle so we can replace it with a truck that is safe for us to use. as it now e cannot sell it and avoid the liability if something should happen with the new owner. my husband had an accident last january and neither of the airbags deployed.

I started the vehicle, proceeded forward in a strait line, reached +/- 15 mph and the side curtain airbags deployed. i did not hit anything, was not hit and did not roll the vehicle. the ground was very smooth/flat. i received neck injuries and have had headaches ever since. my passenger received whip lash and has lost most of his hearing in his right ear permanently. it took 43 days for a response from toyota (corporate). there position is that there airbag deployment system can not fail. there are 2 additional witnesses beside the driver/passenger who were standing just outside the vehicle when it happened. toyota has not talked to any witnesses nor asked any questions. they have simply maintained that their system can't fail and are refusing to fix the vehicle. i will have to pay for the seatbelts to be replaced out of my pocket but can't afford to replace the airbags or headliner (approximately an additional $6,000). *tr

2005 toyota tundra limited, i was hit back right middle of tire, caving in truck bed, losing complete control of vehicle, axle and transmission dismantled, went into a 360 spin with back tires completely bent and no control. then hit head on at a high rate of speed over 35-45 mph. with air-bags not going off! truck was completely rebuilt with hidden cost not released to me. resulting in truck being rebuilt, when it should've been totaled-out. still waiting major back surgery after 15 months, loss of work. insurance companies "hiding" hidden bills that would made my truck over 80% totaled. i need answers and help on why my air bags didn't deploy saving my life i once had, and bills that i didn't have! and yet toyota signs off on my car saying it's safe to drive again with my children on the highways. and now front-end bearings are the #2 recall for the truck resulting in more damage and cost and safety to my family. please help, if anyone has had problems with air-bag deployment not going off on this state of the art toyota tundra truck! *tr
