Six problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2005 Toyota Sienna. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Toyota Sienna based on all problems reported for the 2005 Sienna.
The dash board is cracked on or near the passenger side air bag. I feel this could be a problem for the passenger if activated. Toyota knew of this problem and had a recall which ended my 2017. I was never notified of this recall. A check with Toyota and they state nothing can be done.
Dash has cracks all over. I am a little worried that the passenger side air bag would have an issue deploying properly in the event of a crash.
Our 2005 Toyota Sienna had a srs light come on this week intermittently. We took it to our local dealership and found that there is a passenger side airbag harness defect code bo111 that will cost us $2500 dollars to repair. We have less than 100,000 miles on our van. It has not been in any accidents and we have bee current on all our services and check up. Now we are questioning the safety of the airbags in this vehicle.
Airbag system failure. In my case the airbag light indicated a failure to the right front passenger airbag system. When I reported it to Toyota the person on the line said they had known problems with the airbag on these models. The problem has apparently been upgraded to a level just under a recall. Luckily my car has not been in an accident but there may be others out there with inoperable airbags.
Air bag light is coming on in our 2005 Toyota Sienna for a couple of days now. I took the car to the dealership, and they charged me fifty bucks just to tell me they need $696 to replace the passenger seat airbag. My vehicle has never been in an accident. Why then does the airbag need to be replaced? and now I'm reading online and finding out that all of my airbags are turned off when this light is illuminated? that is horrible. How can a car legally exist where one air bag malfunction can shut down every air bag in the vehicle. That should not be legal. Please look into this matter. $700 or your family won't be safe at all as of now. That is a horrible message for this manufacturer to send. Given what has been going on with Toyota, they shouldn't be allowed to charge excessive fees like this to american families while holding the safety of every person in a vehicle at gunpoint! how is this legal? no safety, no way, unless you pay hundreds of dollars? please do something about this.
Van was "t-boned" on passenger side by large pickup truck probably going 45 mph or so. Truck hit front side panel and passenger door. Estimated damage at this point over $14,000. Passenger had to be extricated by jaws of life and suffered fractured pelvis and face lacerations. Neither the side curtain air bag nor side seat air bag went off. I contacted Toyota yesterday and they said they would contact to me within 3 business. I think there is a problem whether they say (a) it should have gone off and didn't or (b) that it should not have gone off with this type of crash. Van has not yet been repaired. One issue is whether I should wait to have it repaired. Digital pictures of van are available.
