The 2003-2004 model Avalon's have a recall for the airbags when exposed to certain frequencies and noises. My 2002 Avalon has the same issue and Toyota needs to include this model year as well. I've had no problems out of this car ever, but as soon as it hit 140,000 miles the air bags light came on. After doing a little research I seen that others were having the same issue. Please include this model year in the recall because this car is very dependable and I've had no issues until now.

SRS warning light appeared flashing on car. Took car to have checked and was told the side air bag sensor needed to be replaced. Side air bag sensor was replaced. Light no longer flashed. 5 days later the SRS warning light is flashing again. There have been several complaints on the NHTSA website about the same problem. I've been told that some car manufacturers will fix safety issues under an extended warranty. Can Toyota fix these problems free of charge? I'd like to find out before I spend more money trying to diagnose why the SRS air bag light is flashing. Several complaints have said that people have had several items repaired and the light still flashes. I think this is a safety issue that Toyota should fix.

Without incident, about 2 months ago, the airbag light came on when car started and continues to blink while car is running. I have approximately 99,000 miles on my 2002 Toyota Avalon. Local mechanic tested with his equipment and found a problem with passenger side airbag. He referred me to dealer to make repairs. Called dealer and was told they would have to re-check at cost of more than $100 and then would charge me for any repairs that were needed, but could not quote price until they performed test. I then read about recalls of 2002 Avalon, but my dealer said that I would have to pay because my make and model had not been recalled. I cannot justify paying $100+ for a re-test and then having to pay any amount dealer charges to repair a 12 year old auto. I do not trust this dealer because of past dealings with their sales and service departments. Please advise me. I Transport my elderly aunt on occasion. Is it safe for her to ride in the front passenger seat? thank you.

I own a 2002 Toyota Avalon XL. The SRS airbag light on the dashboard is constantly blinking. I took the vehicle to a repair shop that tested it and said that there is a short in the drivers side squib circuit. There was no incident to trigger this. Apparently this is a manufacturing defect and should be fixed via a recall by Toyota.
