This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the vehicle was involved in a minor rear end crash where the driver and the passenger's head rest became fractured upon impact. The contact was concerned with the head rest fracturing with such a slight impact. A police report was filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 95,000.
The foam in the headrest of both the driver and passenger seats has deteriorated to the point that the metal bar underneath is exposed. Neither seats have had seat covers, the vehicle has not been in any wrecks, and the headrests have been used normally. I have been searching for a fix to this problem and this looks to be common for this generation of Toyota trucks. This shouldn't be an issue for a vehicle of this age and is a very dangerous problem for such an important piece of safety equipment.
My son was in an accident with my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. It is a total loss. It rolled over and his passenger was injured. He has told me the passenger seat belt failed and the passenger seat broke. My question is there any way some one could check this out for us? I do have pictures of the broken seat.
