My family and i are expected to play russian roulette every time we…

Airbag warning light has been on since approximately mid july 2014. I received a warranty enhancement notice from toyota (regarding a side airbag connector may have been improperly manufactured in 2006 sienna) which requested that i contact a toyota dealership to determine if this condition is covered by the warranty enhancement "at no charge to you" particularly if the airbag light is on. When i called two…

2006 toyota sienna air bag light is lit. Possible air bag malfunction. Received a letter from toyota to make an appointment to fix the problem, but they want you to pay for the diagnostic test if the part they deemed to be defective is ok. This has not yet led to any crash, injury, etc. If there is a problem with the air bag system, and toyota is aware of the problem, and they are as evidenced by the letter…

The driver's air bag light blinks on and off. The issue was traced to drivers seat wiring. The seat wires are easily exposed. The wires get in contact with the driver's foot causing damage to the wires. This leads to a problem detecting a wight on the seat that in turn enables the air bags.

Airbag light came on so i took my car to the toyota dealership. I was advised that my airbag wiring harness system needs to be replaced. The van has 79k miles and it was only covered for 3 years/36k miles. How is an unused airbag defective? Where is the consumer safety? Should be a lifetime guarantee especially since the airbag was unused. Why should my family be at risk for the product that hinders its usability…

Around 150,000 miles, my airbag warning light started blinking on my dash. It has turned itself off a couple of times but then came back on. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it to turn on or off.

The air bag light comes on as expected when the van is started. Then instead of going out, it flashes the entire time the car is on. This happens intermittently. Sometimes if the van is shut off and restarted, the light will go out. But then a couple days later, it will flash again. I have no idea whether or not my airbags would actually deploy in the event of an accident. Research shows that this is a known issue…

The src airbag (curtain/side airbag) malfunction indicator went off. It has been below of recently. When i googled it, some people pointed it out to the yellow harness under the front seats. I wiggled it a little as some people suggested and the indicator light went away (i don't know if it may come back again). This is a major safety concern to me. Anyone could easily break the hardness when they pull the tray…

Last week, the airbag warning light started flashing constantly while the car is running. A quick read of the owner's manual indicates a problem with the side or curtain airbags. More research on the internet indicates that this is a common problem with siennas from 2006. This is a safety issue, and should be addressed by toyota on a wide scale basis. My car is like new, not used much, never been in an accident and…

My air bag light went on. It was traced by the sealer to a faulty wire under the from passenger seat. The issue is that there is a drawer right there and the drawer often gets stuck and interferes with the wiring. The wiring is very exposed and can easily get broken! The is a design flaw that affects the safety of this vehicle and should be recalled! I have seen many, many complaints about this issue from similar…
