Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Toyota Sienna

Dashboard was replaced in a recall and after the service was performed the airbag inflated light remained on. The dealer said that it was something to do with a sensor and was not related to the work they had performed, yet said it needed to have a diagnostic performed and they wanted to charge for that and for any other work done as a result of it. How could they possibly know it's unrelated to the work they performed if they had not done the diagnostic and it had never had this problem before they worked on it?. I feel strongly that they are just trying to avoid having to do any extra work it's not covered by warranty or paid for. As a result this is creating a highly unsafe situation with a false reading and not knowing if the airbags will accidentally deploy or if they will function properly in an accident. This is putting my family and I at risk.

The airbag sensor light comes on and flashes. It will shut off and turn on randomly. The wire harness under the seat becomes loose or damaged as the seats are moved and airbags are not detected. The light stays flashing and airbags are non-functional. Toyota knows about this but tries to charge thousands of dollars for them to replace their faulty wires.

My 2006 Toyota Sienna had to have 3 airbag components replaced in the first 17 months because of failure of the sensor, ecu and airbag assembly. These were replaced under warranty. Now that the car is 5 years and 1 month old the other front airbag assembly malfunctioned and Toyota has refused to pay to repair it. The warranty was for 5 years and 50,000 miles. I now have no functioning airbags because when 1 airbag does not work the computer turns all of them off.

We continue to have issues with the air bag sensor. I take it to the dealer and they reset. It is off for a while and then it appears again. This has been an on going issues since 12/2011 when I purchased this vehicle. No recall has been done. I fear that if they just continue to reset that a real issue may be missed.
