2011 Toyota TACOMA Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	TACOMA

File date	08/11/16

Description of the problem	Horn stopped working at approximately 48,000 miles. After troubleshooting the problem, i discovered that the issue was related to the spiral cable. About 2 months after the horn stopped working, the steering wheel controlled phone function began auto-activating intermittently with the words "talking" appearing on the radio display (this function is also related to the spiral cable). I am very concerned that the air bag may soon become inoperable if the air bag electrical contacts on the spiral cable fail. While my vehicle vin was not included in a recall for this issue, i understand that toyota did file a part 573 defect information report with nhtsa for selected 2009-2010 tacoma vehicles. The vehicle horn is considered a safety device, and as a result of this failure, my vehicle horn became inoperable. More importantly, the air bag will not function as designed when the spiral cable contacts for the air bag fail. I would expect that this type of safety critical device be designed to last for the useful service life of the vehicle. Failure after less than 6 years (and 48,000 miles) is much sooner than should be expected for this type of vehicle. I would appreciate if nhtsa would consider this information along with other related information in your possession to determine if there is a basis for follow-up with toyota motor corporation to provide a remedy for vehicle owners that have experienced premature spiral cable failure that affects multiple vehicle safety devices.
