The airbag light on my 2006 toyota sienna went off. When the van was less than 6,000 miles over my warranty. The dealer says there is a short in the wiring harness of the airbag under the driver's seat. This disarms all the airbags. I have been waiting 5 weeks for the replacement part. The repair costs $3200.00, but the dealer discounted it to $1,900.00. They say the wait is because there is such a demand for the…

The srs light began to blink. I took the van to the dealership to diagnose the problem. They said it was due to an open air bag in the front passenger seat which would cost $2000 to repair. I have since searched the internet to find several other complaints about the same problem. The yellow harness under the seat could possibly be the problem. If this wire is wiggled, the light goes off for a period of time.…

My airbag light began flashing when the car was only a few years old. It would go off for a while then reappear. It appears to be a harness problem that thousands of people are complaining about with this car. And the problem appears to be associated with an under-seat storage bin that rubs against the wiring harness that's beneath the passenger seat. I've now read many, many, many complaints about this and yet…
