Your truck's engine is entering a reduced-power 'limp home' mode while you're driving, which requires you to stop and restart to fix. This has happened within a quarter mile of startup, but it's not limited to cold starts. Your dealer also has you waiting on a back order for a recalled airbag replacement.

THE AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED AND HAS NEVER NEEDED TO. IT SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL BY TOYOTA? AS THE FEDS REQUIRE THIS SYSTEM, SHOULDN'T I RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM THEM. OR, CAN I HAVE THE AIRBAG DISENGAGED COMPLETELY? THANKS, JOHN M. PEEPLES. *AK
