    Airbag light for driver side blinks off and on during driving at speeds between 35-45 mph. This occurred at 209,560 +/- miles. This is occuring with other issues in the electrical modules including abs control malfunction, power supply voltage yaw/deceleration sensor and it loses communication with steering angle sensor module. This seems to not only be an issue with my vehicle but others as well from reading many…

    Dashboard was replaced in a recall and after the service was performed the airbag inflated light remained on. The dealer said that it was something to do with a sensor and was not related to the work they had performed, yet said it needed to have a diagnostic performed and they wanted to charge for that and for any other work done as a result of it. How could they possibly know it's unrelated to the work they…

    The dash board is cracked on or near the passenger side air bag. I feel this could be a problem for the passenger if activated. Toyota knew of this problem and had a recall which ended my 2017. I was never notified of this recall. A check with toyota and they state nothing can be done.

    Airbag light came on for no apparent reason. Dealership wants $5000 to replace the airbag harness assembly because the impact image sensor is damaged. This seems like a great deal of money for a sensor.

    2005 sienna, srs airbag light came on while driving. Vehicle has not been involved in a crash. Connectors were checked and were secure. Ran scan on srs with innova 3150 and received error code b0101 "open in d squib circuit". After researching online, it seems to be a common problem in the 2005 and 2006 models. There should be a recall. Some dealers just want to replace the entire airbag system, which is an…

    Airbag light on. Dealer says a tiny plastic piece is missing. Toyota doesn't make a plastic piece replacement (probably less than $1) so instead i have to pay about $3000 for an entire new wire harness. *tr

    Airbag light comes on due to faulty wiring harness (or location). According to manual this means that the airbag(s) turn off as the occupancy sensors do not work properly. The wiring harness itself is located where i put my left foot when sitting on the passenger side with the seat pushed back. It is a bad design that endangers lives. Recommend a recall. *tr

Dealer replaced connector and wire kit, installed new connector and soldered wire to existing harness and installed new corrugated tubing. This resulted in a $523 charge. *tr
