2006 scion XA The dash light indicator for pass airbag stays on, showing problem with that system. Toyota had a recall and my car was supposedly fixed this problem, only to have same problem again 4 mos past the 1 year warranty on repairs. I contacted toyota...they sent me an email saying they would get back to me, and gave me a case #[XXX]. 5 mos. later had not heard from them...so called them. They said they were sorry but I was past the 1 yr warranty on recall repair. I can't understand why NHTSA allows mfg to do temporary repairs on defective systems, and kick the can down the road until consumer is responsible for further repairs, when it should have be fixed right in the 1st place.

Near 100,000 miles, the airbag light came on and stays on. Car has never been in an accident; light just came on one day upon starting it up. I understand that this light can represent an error in crash sensors, air bag system, seat belts, seat occupancy sensor, etc. Internet forums say that often one of the wires under the passenger seat has just worked loose. Took it to dealer and it was not a loose wire. They say a certain "box" in the SRS system is not working, and the replacement will cost $1300. I note that ~17,000 of these same vehicles were recalled in 2018 for a same/similar issue, but my VIN was not included in that recall.

My Scion ax 2006 was recalled due to a flashing airbag warning light. The dealer made the light go out, fixed it last year 2018. Now the light came on again and they want to charge me $199 to just check it, no repair included. It appears to be an additional airbag defect and I should not have to pay for that. There is no reason for the warning light other than a defect.

Could not get the form to pull up, but I need to complain. My 2 kids and I were turning off one side road to turn onto another. Well I didnt want to hit the dog that ran out in front of the car so I dodged the dog. Well I hit a telephone pole and I completely messed up the front end of my car. The airbags never deployed, they should have from where the car hit and how much damage I have done. Luckily no one got hurt but I'm like 100% positive those airbags should have deployed. I did a good $1,000 repair just to get it moving again

Takata recall. Why is the Scion Xa being excused from the airbag recall, when it most likely has the exact same airbags as the Scion xb model" has NHTSA ignored the Xa just because it was sold in lesser numbers than the xb" this car has the same engine and transmission in a slightly smaller body.

While driving my 2006 Scion Xa westbound I80 Utah accident occurred at mile marker 150 while taking a left hand turn passengers front tire encountered black ice sending the car into the cement barrier. Bounced off that cement barrier into the oppisite barrier on the passenger front both were blown out and a frame of the vehicle was collapsed in the vehicle the driver's seat belt failed to lock or engage. Resulting I impacted windshield with forehead cracking it, then as I was coming back into the driver's seat the steering wheel airbag deployed late and resuluting hit me in the left side of jaw resulting I was shot across the car and the right side of my face shattered the passenger side window on to the road. I landed across the gear shift and broke my back as a result. Of the safety systems failing to function properly I was thrown around the car like a rag doll I blew out the mcl in my left knee and suffered three traumatic brain injuries within 30 seconds. Resulting from the crash comatose for 6 hours I have no clear memories for up to 3 months after the accident. Also a fractured back, how much is and by the age of 24 and had to have all my teeth pulled and recieve dentures. To this day this accident affects my daily life and long term consequences of the 3 tbi are still developing. I was 20 years old at the time of the accident. I'm 27 now. I found out only a year ago that recalls shoukd be inplace.

I was alone, preparing to get on the turnpike access road when a car/van hit the right front passenger side of my car. Details of the accident were recorded many hours after the crash. I was never asked to provide details. My car rolled over twice down a steep-angled but shallow embankment and then righted itself upright. My seatbelt was fastened and snugged but at no time did the retaining function engage.the seatbelt functioned like a bunji cord. And the airbags (neither front airbag) deployed until many minutes after the crash, as I was sliding across the front seat and console as I began to exit the passenger side. I was and am still injured, have lost much use of my left wrist and hand, suffered a blow to the back of my head which temporarily left me deaf. I still have severe contusions of the left and right legs, and abdomen both externally and on the inside of the abdominal wall.

The air bag warning light has come on a few times and stayed on for about half a day, or a full day, before going off. This has happened a few times over the past couple of years. Because the light goes off, I have figured it was just an electrical malfunction and everything was fine. But I am concerned after seeing yesterday's recall notice about other Toyota in which a problem with an electrical connection between the steering and air bags has meant that the air bags will not deploy. A warning light is associated with this problem. Do 2006 Scion Xas need to be included in the recall?

The contact owns a 2006 Scion Xa. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph in snowy conditions on December 20, 2009, the vehicle suddenly slid off the road and crashed into a ditch. The air bags did not deploy. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. The current mileage was approximately 47,000.

1. started the car and the air bag light on the dashboard would not stop flashing. I bought the car new. The car never been in an accident, never had any damage and was properly maintained. Still under 60,000 miles and is under warranty. 2. it would flash non stop when the car was operating 3. took the car to the dealer to see if they can resolve the issue. They found out that the wire under the passenger seat became loose. I was told that a water bottle under the seat could have caused the wire to disconnect, but before I checked the car in there was nothing under the seat. Apparently moving the seat back and forth can cause the wire to disconnect. I believe that this is a safety hazard in both cases. I feel that somebody should look into this. The dealer reconnected the wire and reset the system
