The srs indicator light began flashing on my 2006 toyota sienna on 09/20/10. The owner's manual states if this occurs, to take the vehicle to the dealership immediately. I was recently advised by cobb county toyota that my airbag is defective and needs to be replaced for $2400. Since my 2006 sienna has 76k miles on it, toyota wouldn't cover it under the warranty. I asked how an unused airbag could be defective, i…

The light came on at least two more times in 2008. The dealership did not know why the light was coming on. A service rep. Told me that the sensor under the front passenger seat was being jarred and making the light come…

Since december, 2009, my 2006 toyota sienna's airbag light keeps coming on, then going off, coming on, going off, etc. I took it to the dealership when it first happened and was told i needed a new driver's side airbag. I was told it would not be covered under warranty. Why would an airbag need replacing after only owning my van barely three years? I might add that while my van was still under warranty, they had to…

Front passenger airbag / light 1. The front passenger airbag light repeated is switched to the "off" position when an adult of average size and weight is seated in the passenger seat. 2. We often have to manually plug/unplug the wires underneath the seat to reset the airbag to switch to the "on" position, but this does not always work. We have not yet taken it to a dealership to have this corrected. *tr
