I purchased truck used 2012. The airbag fault light was on most of the time. I took it to aurora collision in seattle , wa. They couldnt figure out what was wrong so they replaced the entire airbag unit. Within 1 year the airbag fault light IS always on again. I called them to report this problem and they said a new company bought the business same phone number 206 522-0493 and they do not have my records. Toyota of seattle told me they are supposed to keep customers records for 10 years and pass them on to the new owner. New business owner says he does not have them. Toyota of seattle says they cannot determine what airbag I have with out taking the truck apart. What can I do?

Bed of truck swayed when a load was in bed, dealer has changed rack & pinion steering/tie rod ends/springs and shocks, but that has not remedied the problem. *Ak consumer was also informed that there was a problem with the tires which was actually causing the problems, the tires were then balanced and rotated, consumer stated the problem with the swaying was still there, consumer realized that when weight IS on bed of the vehicle, that IS when the vehicle seems to sway, consumer was informed that manufacturer IS aware of the problem, but has no place of alleviating the problem. *jb
