Airbag light indicator in the dash started blinking until now. From what i have read, some airbags may not deploy in the event of an accident due to this, thus, a safety issue. I have read in the forums that this is a common problem for the type/model of my minivan. My minivan is already out of the warranty and personally think that there should be a recall for this issue. If fear for the safety of my family…

Air bag indicator light came on indicating a failure in the driver's side air bag. The air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash due to a faulty wire harness as explained the toyota dealer service department. This is a known problem with sienna minivans, for which a toyota service bulletin has been issued, but there has not been a model recall. *tr

The air bag warning light came on. I took the vehicle into the dealership to have it looked at. The result was that the wiring harness for the seat sensor on the passenger side has corroded creating an open circuit. They gave me an estimate to replace the wiring harness and air bag (which has been apparently damaged due to the corroded harness) to a total of $3,000. Wiring harnesses do not corrode in 5 years unless…

Airbag warning light appeared on dashboard suddenly. Dealership ran diagnostics and said that a loose connection below the car seat could be the reason, as that fixed the warning light issue. Car's extended warranty expires in about 8months, and reading the most complaints on this mini-van being airbag issue, i am worried that the actual error (requiring replacement of the whole system $2k-$3k+ that others are…

We continue to have issues with the air bag sensor. I take it to the dealer and they reset. It is off for a while and then it appears again. This has been an on going issues since 12/2011 when i purchased this vehicle. No recall has been done. I fear that if they just continue to reset that a real issue may be missed. *tr

The air bag light flashes all the time. I take it in and fix it every time i get maintenance done. They open the circuit in the right side squib circuit and adjust the pin fit connection on wire harness. Costs $60.00 to fix. It has been happening for years! I need to find someone that can tell me how to fix this myself! It stays off for about a day or two, sometimes a month or two. Then it starts blinking again. *tr
