Srs warning light appeared flashing on car. Took car to have checked and was told the side air bag sensor needed to be replaced. Side air bag sensor was replaced. Light no longer flashed. 5 days later the srs warning light is flashing again. There have been several complaints on the NHTSA website about the same problem. I've been told that some car manufacturers will fix safety issues under an extended warranty. Can Toyota fix these problems free of charge? I'd like to find out before I spend more money trying to diagnose why the srs air bag light is flashing. Several complaints have said that people have had several items repaired and the light still flashes. I think this is a safety issue that Toyota should fix.

Picked up the car on 12/31/01 without any problems. Beginning 1/2/02, the front passenger srs warning light flashed on an off intermittently. Took to dealer 1/3/02. They determined that the wiring had been incorrectly routed under the front passenger bucket seat and had become crimped when the power seat was moved. The dealer is making the repairs which includes removal of the front passenger bucket seat. I am pleased with their response, but concerned that such a problem could occur and that there may very well be more cars with the same problem.
