We have a 2006 toyota sienna, and the srs airbag light just began blinking. Took it to the dealership and they said the entire wiring harness needs to be replaced because of a faulty wire, and none of the airbags would deploy in the case of an accident. They want $3000 to replace. We are not going to fix until we call toyota to find out if they plan on issuing a recall on this defect. *tt

Airbag light is on so i had my van looked at, at the dealership and i was told i need a new passenger airbag and harness. Its not under warranty because i have to many miles on my vehicle. Which the mileage has nothing to do with the airbags. Its a safety issue and should be a recall. I've never been in an accident so i don't understand how the airbags could go bad. I also had another mechanic look at my van and he…

Air bag light is continually on. Researching the internet we have found that many other 2006 toyota sienna's have the same problem and i feel that it is a safety hazard that toyota should have recalled before now. We have found that in most cases it will cost thousands of dollars to get it repaired. As senior citizens, we cannot come up with that kind of money. Has a recall been issued, or, is an investigation into…

Air bag warning light flashes. Taken the car in twice already to fix it. Went on again last week. Now i am out of warranty.... Hope they will fix it again since it is an ongoing problem. It is scary to drive the car if you think the air bag may go off at any time ! Toyota needs to tell the dealership how to fix this problem! Isn't replacing the "part" two times enough already?? My car has 80k miles on it. *tr

Then the issue came back again, brought it down to south coast…

The air bag warning light is flashing. Per information online, this indicates a problem with the airbags -- either failing to inflate in a crash or inflating erroneously while driving. This seems like a very serious safety issue. Correction of the problem can cost up to $4,000 and should be considered a safety defect and subject to recall. *tr

Approximately 2 weeks before scheduled service, air bag light came on and remained lit. After normal maintenance service was performed, the dealer did not notify my that the air bag system was not functioning properly. I found this strange, since during other service events, we were solicited for recommended services. I performed some research and determined that there are others experiencing the same problems. I am…

The air bag light began flashing a couple of month ago. I took the van to the dealer who told me there were two error codes and that since they weren't sure exactly what was wrong, the entire system would have to be replaced. Total: $4400 and change. The rep also told me he'd only heard of this happening once before, and his recommendation was that i simply trade it in and buy a new toyota (of course). I have 8…
