Air Bag Light On problems of the 2002 Toyota Avalon

The 2003-2004 model Avalon's have a recall for the airbags when exposed to certain frequencies and noises. My 2002 Avalon has the same issue and Toyota needs to include this model year as well. I've had no problems out of this car ever, but as soon as it hit 140,000 miles the air bags light came on. After doing a little research I seen that others were having the same issue. Please include this model year in the recall because this car is very dependable and I've had no issues until now.

Without incident, about 2 months ago, the airbag light came on when car started and continues to blink while car is running. I have approximately 99,000 miles on my 2002 Toyota Avalon. Local mechanic tested with his equipment and found a problem with passenger side airbag. He referred me to dealer to make repairs. Called dealer and was told they would have to re-check at cost of more than $100 and then would charge me for any repairs that were needed, but could not quote price until they performed test. I then read about recalls of 2002 Avalon, but my dealer said that I would have to pay because my make and model had not been recalled. I cannot justify paying $100+ for a re-test and then having to pay any amount dealer charges to repair a 12 year old auto. I do not trust this dealer because of past dealings with their sales and service departments. Please advise me. I transport my elderly aunt on occasion. Is it safe for her to ride in the front passenger seat? thank you.

I own a 2002 Toyota Avalon xl. The srs airbag light on the dashboard is constantly blinking. I took the vehicle to a repair shop that tested it and said that there is a short in the drivers side squib circuit. There was no incident to trigger this. Apparently this is a manufacturing defect and should be fixed via a recall by Toyota.

Moving the driver's seat in my 2002 Toyota Avalon causes the air bag light to illuminate. Manually pushing a connector together beneath the seat - difficult as that is to reach - can extinguish the light on the console. I assume that when the light is on that the air bag restraint is inoperable. This situation is caused solely by the action of advancing or reversing the seat to allow for various size drivers. This dangerous action has occurred many times during the past 7 years that I have owned the vehicle.

Air bag light stay on all the time . Dealer cannot fix it.
