2006 TOYOTA TACOMA DOUBLE CAB, V-6, 4WD. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW FROM PALMER'S TOYOTA IN MOBILE, AL. AT 72,000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD. THE COST TO REPAIR IS IN EXCESS OF $500! I CHOSE NOT TO REPAIR AT THE TIME - HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT ON FOR A WEEK NOW. SERVICE REP SAID THAT UNTIL REPAIR IS MADE, MY AIRBAGS WERE "DISABLED".
