Blinking airbag light appeared randomly, no causal incident. Repair will cost over $1000. Airbag wiring should not go bad on it's own after so few years and so few miles. *tr

The airbag light is flashing at random interval both stationary or in motion. Unplugging and plugging the connectors many times can sometimes solve the problem for a few days or weeks. The airbag lamp would come back. It's very unsafe for driving with whole family in the car. Need a recall. This has happened for years since i owned the car 6 years ago.

My sienna had a air bag code b0111 and flashing all the time. It might take over 3,000 dollars to fix that problem. Plus, my family is not safe in my sienna. I do not know what to do. *tr

Yet another airbag /srs warning light fault to report on the sienna 2006. Code detected is b0116. Airbag wiring harness has to be replaced at a cost of $3000. This is not "wear and tear" it is clearly a manufacturing defect affecting thousands of this model of van. Toyota must accept responsibility for this before there is a fatality caused by airbags not activating. *tr

Have noted this to be a common problem on this vehicle (make, model, year) as there are many many complaints about this problem. Will be contacting a local toyota dealer for diagnosis and repair, but am afraid i may have…

The front driver airbag light showed up on the dashboard and began to blink about 2 weeks ago. Took the van into a toyota dealer to have it checked out. Sensors need to be replaced for $700! After researching on the internet, it appears that the 2006 toyota sienna's has had numerous complaints for the airbag defects. I'm thinking toyota needs to be responsible for this safety defect and issue a recall for the…
