Toyota sienna has air bag flashing, it just last 12/12/20014, so i brought it to fremont toyota for check up and told them about the flashing air bag ask them if if is part of toyota air bag recall. they charge me $152.00 to find out the problem. after 2 hrs, they say, they need more hours to find the problem and they are charging me another $152.00. i thought the $152.00 in the first place they tell you the problem.is this right when they estimate the hour. they can diagnose the problem. to pay extra i don"t have enough money.. is this air bag problem is toyota recall. i am afraid for my family safety. thanks: conrad

After stopping for registration, my son and i got back into our 2001 toyota sienna minivan to continue on to our previously registered site at a cub scouts "jamboree". i think that i had a seizure (i don't remember anything at this time). neither i nor my child was buckled in, and we traveled across a field and across a small creek, with the end result the head-on collision into the far side of the creek. i was badly injured, and my son was declared "brain dead" 5 days later. no air bags deployed, and i am now reporting it because if they had, we may have had an entirely different result. after researching this particular problem, i discovered that the failure to deploy air bags was cited by a previous author. i am intrigued, to say the least.... *tr
