1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2006 Toyota Sienna

Failure Date: 09/02/2020

The air bag light keeps coming on in the van. My auto tech said the air bags do not work when the light is on. He also said the problem with the van is a wiring defect, and not a problem with the actual air bags. Toyota should recall these vans and fix them at their cost. This situation is dangerous.

2 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Toyota Sienna

Failure Date: 01/11/2020

My 2007 Toyota Sienna airbag light has been blinking off and on for about 1 year, because it would do it on an inconsistent basis, I didn't get it checked because it would go off and then come one again. Today at 81,000 miles I took my car to get serviced for an oil change, so I had them diagnose the airbag light and they told me I needed a whole new air bag system that would cost me over $1300. 00 and I feel this is a safety issue and should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. The airbag system is not something a consumer have access to, to cause wear and tear. I've been driving my children around not realizing the whole system would need to be replaced. Should this be a recall because I am seeing several complaints in this model. And I am unsure how a recall is established but I feel this needs to be a recall.
