The airbag light had come on and off for months until Toyota dealership fixed it 2 1/2 yrs ago; the light is back on again and was told I could not get my van inspected with out it fixed. This is a defect with the 2006 Siennas - there is no reason the air bag lights should be on. The sliding passenger rear door stopped working- door would not close - had to turn off electronic switch and have to slam the door to keep it closed. This is an extreme safety hazard for passengers. Toyota has issued a service call on this but there is something drastically wrong with 2006 Toyota Siennas. On 10/14/2011 I filed a complaint with NHTSA about this and it took almost 2 years to address this problem. Run flat tires wore out early, replaced but had a lot of flats and adding air to tires weekly. Run flat rims were not true and had to replace rims and tires . I am the only owner of this vehicle.
Front passenger airbag / light 1. The front passenger airbag light repeated is switched to the "off" position when an adult of average size and weight is seated in the passenger seat. 2. We often have to manually plug/unplug the wires underneath the seat to reset the airbag to switch to the "on" position, but this does not always work. We have not yet taken it to a dealership to have this corrected.
