Takata recall I had my passenger side airbag recalled and repaired. Now I am concerned that the driver side airbag light is continuing to stay lit. If the passenger side was recalled shouldn't the driver side also be recalled. They are both the same brand airbag. I haven't received a recall for the driver's side, but now that my airbag light for the driver's side is coming on and staying on I am very concerned. The dealership is telling me that they would have to put it on a diagnostic machine which will cost me $135. 00. If the driver side airbag is part of a recall that I haven't been notified of, why should I pay for diagnostic?.
Driver airbag light on. No crash or deployment of bag. My question: why should I pay to replace as must be a factory defect? is not on recall "im told". I do not feel I should have to replace this bag. Im told this is dangerous as could deploy.
Takata inflates: ever since my recall for the passenger airbag my airbag light came on about several months later. It. Has been on and I don't have the money to see what the problem is, I am on a fixed income and disabled. Can u please tell me what may be the problem or tell me what to do. . Thank you, christopher thomas cthomasa55@gmail. Com 703-203-6771.
Periodically this winter the air bag light would remain illuminated after starting. Often it would go away if you simply restarted the car. I attributed it to cold weather, but in light of Toyota's most recent recall (torrance, calif. , April 9, 2014 – Toyota motor sales, u. S. A. , inc. Today announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 1. 3 million vehicles, including certain model year 2009-2010 corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2008-2010 highlander, 2009-2010 tacoma, 2006-2008 rav4 and 2006-2010 yaris vehicles. The driver’s airbag module in the involved vehicles is attached to a spiral cable assembly with electrical connections that could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned. If this occurs, the air bag warning lamp will illuminate. In addition, the driver’s air bag could become deactivated, causing it to not deploy in the event of a crash. ) I am left to wonder if the spiral cable assembly may be the issue with my 2006 Matrix.
