The SRS airbag light comes on after putting the car in motion for a few minutes. We have not had it looked at by a professional but I did do a visual inspection under the front seat and there were no issues with the connectors.
- Raleigh, NC, USA
Air bag connectors are having moisture damages. The connectors are oxidized and loosed the connection. The air bag indicator light is on.
- Chesterfield, MO, USA
Airbag light goes on and off dealer said he can fix for $400. Or more. Claims he was able to wiggle it to help temporarily. Worked for a short time. Seems like many owners have this issue.
- Redondo, CA, USA
My airbag light began flashing when the car was only a few years old. It would go off for a while then reappear. It appears to be a harness problem that thousands of people are complaining about with this car. And the problem appears to be associated with an under-seat storage bin that rubs against the wiring harness that's beneath the passenger seat. I've now read many, many, many complaints about this and yet Toyota refuses to respond. Please help.

- Reminderville, OH, USA
The air bag light flashes. Toyota replaced the harness under the front passenger seat and shortly the problem came back. I had received notice that there was an issue but Toyota kept the notice and now will not acknowledge therthat is an issue. Toyota claims th harness is defective and will cost to fix. This should not be an issue for a vehicle that has never B en in an accident.

- Live Oak, FL, USA
I was driving the car all day. Made a stop at a grocery store. When I started the car back up the air bag warning light came on.
- Kernville, CA, USA
Air bag warning continuously flashes when the car is on. Mechanic tried to reset it but it goes right back to flashing when the car is restarted. No accidents, this began at 114,000 miles. Concerned airbag will not deploy on impact, or will deploy randomly because it is faulty. The VIN shows there is no recall but isn't this a safety issue when hundreds have reported the same problem?
- Lagrangeville, NY, USA
Check airbags light comes on for no reason.

2006 Sienna le airbag warning light keeps flashing.
- San Ramon, CA, USA
Takata recall I am filing this complaint because I have contacted Toyota many times regarding the safety of the airbags in my van. The safety of my family is in question. Even though a recall does not come up when I enter the VIN in safercar.gov, I am told by Toyota that doesn't mean my van won't be subject to a recall in the future. I need to know! my family and I are expected to play russian roulette every time we get in the van.Toyota reps are playing a guessing game when they give me information about the safety of my van. They cannot tell me why my van is not being recalled. I need specifics such as who made the airbag in my van, Toyota says they cannot tell me this because their lawyers have told them not to give out that info. The person who gave me this info told me they spoke to the executive management where they work and that is all they can tell me. Not good enough! I would like to know why nobody will give me a definitive answer that would put my mind at ease. Could it be because my van is a 2006 and takata knew of the airbag problems in 2004 but did not admit to it until 2008" can they not tell me definitively because takata tampered with info from 2004 through 2008 before they went public with problem" Toyota reps tell me they are going forward with recalls as they receive info from takata and the NHTSA. I cannot trust takata with the safety of my family and for this reason I am appealing to the NHTSA to please give me permission to take my van to a certified mechanic to have the airbags removed. You will probably quote the safety statistic that my chances of being killed in an auto accident are greater without airbags than having an airbag spontaneously explode in my face. Before the recall I was never fixated on getting in an accident, now I am a distracted driver worrying if my airbags are going to explode in someone's face.
