1 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2019

The airbag warning light came on when I started the car and stayed on. I contacted the dealer and found out that my vehicle was under recall for the airbag. I took it in and had that repair done, but the warning light did not go off. The dealer said it needs a new spiral cable assembly, at a cost of nearly $500. The dealer said the airbag may not inflate during a crash. In searching the internet for information about this repair, I discovered that other Toyotas are under recall for this same problem. I would like my vehicle to be considered for inclusion in this recall and the cost of repair covered.

3 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2016

Takata recall: the passenger airbag was replaced under a recall several years ago. The driver's airbag warning light is now on. Also, the right front wheel bearing has been replaced at least six times since I purchased this vehicle in December, 2008. The first two or three were replaced while the car was still under warranty, but I have had to replace the same right front wheel bearing another three to four times thereafter at my own expense. The last time I had to replace the wheel bearing was in December, 2016, while on vacation. It seems the problem just hasn't been permanently solved. So frustrating and expensive for another wonderful vehicle.
