I was notified in april 2016 that my curtain airbags may need a new module due to the unintentional operation of these air bags. since then, i have heard nothing from the dealer. i think toyota is dragging their feet in supplying the dealers with the replacement module.

I have already received information on the interim g1c. this is also about the frame on my vehicle which is rusted very bad. the rear passenger arm mount has already broken. there are also holes in the trave and the long pieces of metal on the frame. the skid plates are also rusted. also the tow ring on the passenger side is getting ready to snap. i have been learning more information about this problem with some toyota vehicles. i am afraid that i am riding in a very dangerous vehicle. i was just wondering if anything can be done about this, since toyota is aware there is a problem with rust. when the arm mount broke i was driving with my children in the car, the rear end of the vehicle was bouncing all over the place. it scared us all becase we did not know what was going on. i w

Vehicle has abnormal amount of rust on frame metal parts with excessive chipping an corrosion. also, of almost more concern is that the airbag sensors are completely rotted through, as if they were sacrificial anodes. frame failure due to abnormal rust could cause a catastrophic accident. sensor failure of the airbag sensors (behind front bumper) while driving could cause serious injury or death to driver or other cars on the road. i have never seen anything like this amount of corrosion. *tr

We have a melting dash in our 4 runner. it can burn to the touch and has progressively gotten worse over past year. it is sticky to touch also and has a bad odor also. we made complaint to toyota but no offer to repair. i called dealerships and they said they have been notified of the problem but toyota corp has not given them approval for parts to replace. i am concerned about summer months getting hotter and it making our airbags go off or dash could catch on fire. *tr

I began to notice that my dash has started to crack and it is in the area of the air bag. i did some research and found out that many 2004 toyota 4runner owners are having the same problem. i called toyota to ask for info and they refused to assist in the matter or even help pay for it to be replaced. this concerns me for my safety, since it is in the area of the air bag. toyota is aware of this defect in the dash but has done nothing to remedy the situation. it is not only a safety concern, but it also depreciates the value of my vehicle. i have listed my case number and one other that i know of below with toyota. other from research- [xxx] mine - [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
