Description of the problem | The air bag light on my 2007 toyota tacoma prerunner double cab 4x2 came on and will not go off. The toyota dealership planned to charge me $115 to diagnose the problem. They did not recognize the code and charged me $59. 50 stating that they would call back after speaking with technical support. Later they said the problem is the spiral cable and quoted me $562. 44 to replace it. The problem occurred in july 2011 at 59,000 miles. I plan to fix it soon for 2 reasons: my life is worth more than $562 and i believe in virginia the light needs to be off to pass the yearly state inspection. This is definitely a recall and a safety issue, the dealership let me know when i took my truck in that the airbag will not deploy without fixing this issue. My truck is practically still new, i have never had an issue like this before with any of my other vehicles. |
