What owners wrote
Both passenger and driver air bags did not deploy at the impact of a head on collision which totalled the car my son was driving,and he sustained head,back and neck injuries because of that.the car locked up after the crash,disabling him to exit the car and had to be pulled out from the passenger side of the car.
Excessive amount of rust for mileage of car 156k as of writing frame is flaking/scaling even after application of por-15 to try and salvage the frame to make it last a while longer. Replacement of tank straps at 120k due to failure from rust. Car will become unsafe to drive in a short period this seems to be a very common issue with this frame/year area as toyota already has replaced the tacoma frames that were rusting/rotting the same way.
