The dash board is cracked on or near the passenger side air bag. I feel this could be a problem for the passenger if activated. Toyota knew of this problem and had a recall which ended my 2017. I was never notified of this recall. A check with Toyota and they state nothing can be done.

Airbag light for driver side blinks off and on during driving at speeds between 35-45 mph. This occurred at 209,560 +/- miles. This is occuring with other issues in the electrical modules including ABS control malfunction, power supply voltage yaw/deceleration sensor and it loses communication with steering angle sensor module. This seems to not only be an issue with my vehicle but others as well from reading many forums on Toyota Sienna vans including ones just a few years old.

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

Airbag light came on for no apparent reason. Dealership wants $5000 to replace the airbag harness assembly because the impact image sensor is damaged. This seems like a great deal of money for a sensor.

2005 Sienna, SRS airbag light came on while driving. Vehicle has not been involved in a crash. Connectors were checked and were secure. Ran scan on SRS with innova 3150 and received error code B0101 "open in D squib circuit". after researching online, it seems to be a common problem in the 2005 and 2006 models. There should be a recall. Some dealers just want to replace the entire airbag system, which is an expensive solution. This is a huge safety concern for Toyota.

SRS light is on, based on service bulletin no.: tc-14-001 component(s): Air bags, electrical system took vehicle to Toyota and they state this is not the issue and I have to pay $1000 to have control board replaced. I do not trust that the control board is the issue and believe Toyota dealership is wanting to have me pay for high cost part and the issue can be resolved through service bulletin. How can I trust Toyota that the service bulletin is not the problem and the control board is... can an independent repair shop be used to determine issue.

Airbag light on. Dealer says a tiny plastic piece is missing. Toyota doesn't make a plastic piece replacement (probably less than $1) so instead I have to pay about $3000 for an entire new wire harness.

Tried to avoid oncoming truck over double line by easing to R shoulder and caught ice. Slide, driver side tires went up on guardrail, went airborne taking out a mailbox, bounced in a lower front yard went back in air. Pinged off large trees X3 then passed thru 2 field goal and the tree dead center and my van hit hard! crumpling my front end but not deploying any air bags. Nice seatbelt bruise and shaken but no injuries.
