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 dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

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 impact, no braking until it exploded.

THE MPH DOSEN'T WORK, THE AIR BAGS DO NOT RESPOND, THE AC AND HEAT DO NOT WORK, REAR BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND. *TR

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.

TRUCK IS BASICALLY ROTTING IN HALF. TOYOTA IS RECALLING OTHER TRUCKS DUE TO SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FRAMES BUT NOT THIS TRUCK. HAVE TALKED TO 2 TOYOTA DEALERS AND ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE ON THESE TRUCKS IT ONLY THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED THE TACOMAS AND NOW THE SEQUOIAS. FOR THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

VEHICLE FUEL LINES HAD RUSTED AND LEAKED GASOLINE NECESSITATING REPLACEMENT APPROX 1 YEAR AGO. CURRENTLY, AS OF 06/18/2012, THERE IS "EXCESSIVE RUST FOR MILES AND AGE OF CAR" (ON ENTIRE FRAME AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PER MECHANIC EXAM). THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE HOLES CAUSED BY RUST THAT COULD AFFECT CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL OF SAME VINTAGE TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCKS. *TR

HOW OFTEN DOES A CV BOOT NEED TO BE REPLACED?*AK

DRIVELINE FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO VIBRATE. *AK

THE SEATBELTS DO NOT RETRACT THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACES 2 TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE LET GO ONCE AGAIN THIS CAUSES THE SEATBELTS TO GET SLAMMED IN THE DOORS AND EXPOSES THE TAG THAT SAYS THEY MUST BE REPLACED. IT ALSO CAUSES EXTREME WARE AND TEAR ON THE SEATBELT POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

ALL TIRES HAVE CRACKS IN CIRCUMFERENCE. GROOVES. FEAR TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION AT SPEED. GOODYEAR WILL NOT GIVE CREDIT FOR ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES.*AK (TIRESIZE: 16 31?)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 31? )

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 70 MPH. AMBIENT TEMP APPROX 95 F. TIRES WERE MARGINAL IN TREAD, BUT SHOWED NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. TREAD SEPARATED, BUT TIRE REMAINED INTACT. MAIN INGREDIENTS OF ISSUE. SPEED, HEAT, TIRE AGE. I NOTIFIED BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTGATE THIS AS PEOPLE WILL THINK THEIR TIRES ARE OK, BASED ON A LAY-PERSONS VISIUAL INSPECTION, BUT THERE MIGHT BE AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THE TIRE COMPANY DISCARDED THE TIRE BEFORE I COULD GET THEM TO LET ME KEEP IT. IT WAS A CLASSSIC EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM AFFECTING THE WILDERNESS, AT, ETC TIRES, INCLUDINGTHE FACT THAT IT STAYED INFLATED. I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, BUT HAS NOT YET REACHED THE PROPORTION OF THE CURRENT TIRE PROBLEM, OR IT HAS NOT CAUSED CATASTROPHIC RESULTS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SEPARATION, OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE AND COMPONENTS (AXLES, HEIGHT OF CAR, ETC.). IT SEEMS THAT B/F TIRES SHOULD AT LEAST NOTIFY CUSTOMERS TO GET ALL OLD TIRES CHECKED, BIUT IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR TO HAVE THEM PAY FOR RECALL OF TIURES THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR EXPECTED LIFE. HOPE THIS HELPS SAVE A LIFE, OR AT LEASTS SAVES SOMEONE SOME BIG HASSLES OR BIG LEGAL BILLS. CHEERS! TONY( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/75/15 )
