The airbag light comes on at random times. It stays on from a few seconds to 15 minutes. Last week I was driving a distance of 60 miles and my wife counted 19 times that the light came on. Repeated contact with the local dealer and Toyota have revealed that if the light is on at impact the airbags will not deploy. Toyota never sees the light on and will do nothing to try to repair the problem. They say it would be too expensive. I have a 7 year 70K warranty. I have provided serial pictures of the light being on. Toyota will not accept this as"we must see it", like I am a liar.
On 9/28/2006 at approximately 5:20 pm, my wife & I were traveling South on the bullhead parkway, bullhead city, AZ, when we were struck front left fender, pushing our vehicle into a stopped vehicle, totaling our vehicle, a 2003 Toyota Avalon. The owner of the body shop told us that he was surprised that neither the side or front air bag deployed even though both sensors were crushed. I advised Toyota, NY city of this so that they could investigate and correct this problem. I do not know if they did or not.
