Tl* 2011 toyota tacoma. At 50 MPH, the contact drove into a field and over a drain ditch, and then crashed into a wall. The vehicle came to rest in a corn field. Both frontal air bags failed to deploy and the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floorboard. The driver was killed. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed away. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 20,000...updated 08/11/14 updated 10/28/14
Takata recall should be extended to 2011 toyota tacoma. The horn stopped working so I took the car into a toyota certified mechanic. They said this was caused by spiral cable problem with the air bag in the steering wheel. They had seen this problem several times before and said it was a known issue for them with the toyota tacoma, but not covered by a recall yet.
