What owners wrote
My husband t-boned a semi at 35 MPH. The truck spun around and the rear of the truck also hit the semi. The airbags did not deploy. He incurred multiple injuries, some of which could have been minimized had airbags deployed. The truck was totaled. There was a direct hit -- I.e. Front of truck hit side of semi and destroyed engine (and more), yet air bag did not deploy. .
The leaf spring bushings pushed threw the rotted frame and poked holes in the bed of the truck .the spare tire was hanging on the ground when I got home one day. Now my inspection station wont put a inspection sticker on it because they say its to dangerous.toyota had this problem and ether repaired the vehicle or replaced it.
