1996 TOYOTA T100 WITH APPROX 77000 MILES, RARELY DRIVEN, GARAGE KEPT AND WELL CARED FOR, CANNOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF RUST ON FRAME, CONTROL ARMS, UNDERBODY COMPONENTS, REAR BUMPER. AM CONCERNED IF VEHICLE IS IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WILL DISINTEGRATE AND CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER, OR IF STRUCTURE FAILS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT CAN CAUSE HARM TO OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS. TOYOTA LEFT THIS MODEL OUT OF THE RECALL BUT THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES REPORTED WITH TACOMA AND TUNDRA OF SAME MODEL YEAR RANGE. TRUCK WOULD RUN FOREVER IF NOT FOR EXCESSIVE RUST. YOU CAN DO BETTER TOYOTA, SO DO BETTER. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19,2019. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT OR COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE MOTOR SHUTOFF. I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WITH MY SON AND BEFOREI COULD REMOVE MY KEYS FROM THE IGNITION AND EXIT MY TRUCK, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, SMACKING ME DIRECTLY IN MY FACE. IM SURE THIS WAS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF SOME KIND BECAUSE IVE BEEN OWNING THIS VEHICLE SINCE 1996 AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. NORMALLY IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THE ENGINE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO START BUT IN THIS SITUATION MY MOTOR STILL TURNS ON BUT ITS UNSAFE TO EVEN DRIVE AROUND WITH THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG DANGLING FROM THE CENTER OF…

I AM A OWNER OF A 1996 TOYOTA T100 WITH SERIOUS RUST ISSUES ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER TRUCK SUCH AS THE TACOMA. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THE T100.

THE FRAME IS RUSTED AND HAD TO BE PATCHED ONCE. THE REST OF THE FRAME IS RUSTING. THE A ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE RUSTED AND BROKE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE SHOCK ABSORBER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS RUSTED FROM THE UPPER A ARM AREA AND HAS FAILED. THE CAMBER ADJUSTMENT BAR BETWEEN THE UPPER A ARM AND IS IN FRONT OF THE TORSION BAR IS RUSTED ALMOST THROUGH. THE FENDER WELLS OF THE BED ON BOTH SIDES ARE RUSTED THROUGH. THESE ALL PRESENT POTENTIAL SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND HAZARDS TO ONES WELL BEING. THE TACOMAS AND THE TUNDRAS FROM THESE YEARS WERE RECALLED, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY THE T100'S WEREN'T RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS.
