My 2006 sienna airbags unpredictably become non-functional. That is, the warning light goes on and off at unpredictable intervals. I am told by the dealer service representatives that the airbags are non-functional (i.e., system shut down) when the warning light is flashing. This is a severe safety concern to me for the sake of my family. It is galling since the airbag system was a major selling point of the car. An…

Toyota has an on-going issue with airbag/srs wiring harnesses that fail. When the wiring harness fails it disables the entire srs system. The occupant is then at risk in a collision. This condition initiated on its own and is not the result of a collision. The local toyota dealer relayed that it is a common occurrence and would cost over $2000 dollars to repair. It shows up on the obdii diagnostic as a right-side…

The airbag sensor light comes on and flashes. It will shut off and turn on randomly. The wire harness under the seat becomes loose or damaged as the seats are moved and airbags are not detected. The light stays flashing and airbags are non-functional. Toyota knows about this but tries to charge thousands of dollars for them to replace their faulty wires.

The srs warning light comes on and off intermittently. I have read many online forums and this seems to be a common problem. I am hoping a recall will be issued for the safety of my family and all the other families out there with similar issues. I am usually able to fix it by jiggling the wiring under the driver and passenger seats.

On march 13, 2015 driving on i-95 south in a 2006 toyota sienna van the cruise control would not disengage when the brakes were applied approaching an exit ramp. The vehicle would not slowdown in spite of pressing the brake pedal as hard as possible. Moving the control lever forward to disengage the function was also not successful.
