The SRS light has blinked for 5 years. It may blink for a day or two and then not blink for a week. Now it has been blinking everyday for 2 weeks. A diagnostic check was made and I was told that the passenger air bag tried to open but did not. I bought this car used and after about a month the SRS light began to blink.

The seat belt latch release on my 2002 Toyota Camry fails to "pop out" after un-fastening (releasing) the seat belt. This could lead to an un-safe condition since it could appear that the seat belt was latched when it was not. I was told be the dealer that it would cost $140. To repair this condition. I said that I thought this was a safety matter and should be repaired at no cost. I understand that some other car manufacturers warrant seat belts for the life of the car and make such safety repairs at no charge. Why does Toyota charge for repair of such safety devices? thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your reply.
