Four problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 2010 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2010 Toyota Prius has leather seats and the passenger side light is coming on. According to Toyota recall there was a problem with the leather seats and calibration. The sensor on the passenger side is not communicating with the front airbag so when you sit down and buckle in it does not activate the front airbag. A seatbelt and airbag light is constantly on.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Prius. While driving 65 mph, the brake, air bag, and traction control warning indicators illuminated continuously. The contact mentioned that the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. When the contact depressed the brake pedal slowly, the vehicle engaged. The contact called roadside assistance and was informed that there was no failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about a recall for the brakes. The contact called al hendrickson Toyota at 954-972-1100 and they stated that there was no recall for the brakes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v235000 (service brakes). The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Airbag light started turning on every so often. After recall work at dealer, it went away, but again now holds constant.
Airbag light turned on and was diagnosed as 'faulty air bag on driver side due to wiring harness issue'. I did not expect to pay for this repair as airbags are federally regulated 'safety' items. Car was just out of warranty. I did make a claim to Toyota and part was paid for. However, world Toyota in atlanta did charge me $293 for the labor. I would appreciate any information you can offer on this matter.
