2007 Toyota Sienna Air Bags

LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED MY SIENNA AT HIGH SPEED AT STOP SIGN WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY TURN TO PROCEED. I WAS TRAVELLING WITH MY FAMILY. SIENNA GOT TOTALED DUE TO THIS. SIDE DOORS, BACK DOOR, BACK BUMPER, CARGO AND THIRD ROW SEAT AREA ALL GOT IMPACTED DUE TO THIS AND EVERYTHING CAVED INWARD BY FEW INCHES. MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS BEEN SHAKEN TO THE CORE AND ME AND MY WIFE ARE SUFFERINGS FROM SEVERE PAIN IN BACK AND NECK SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE CABIN WAS FILLED WILL WHITE SMOKE (POWDERY STUFF), BUT NO AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED (OPENED) DUE TO THE IMPACT. WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE ALL ARE STILL ALIVE SINCE WE HAD BEEN HIT FROM THE BACK AT HIGH SPEED. THE CAR HITTING US FROM THE BACK MUST BE TRAVELLING ABOVE 40 MILES AN HOUR SINCE MY FULLY LOADED SIENNA WITH 3 ADULTS AND A CHILD SKID FORWARD BY ALMOST 8-10 FEET. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN THAT EVEN AFTER SUCH A HIGH IMPACT COLLISION, NONE OF THE AIR BAG OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON A HIGHWAY AT A STOP SIGN (RIDGE RD AND ROUTE 52 JUNCTION IN KENDALL COUNTY, IL). I HAVE ATTACHED THE POLICE REPORT AND ALSO THE REAR OF MY CAR. IT RENDERED MY CAR UNDRIVABLE AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE.

MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR, BECAUSE IT WOULD DO IT ON AN INCONSISTENT BASIS, I DIDN'T GET IT CHECKED BECAUSE IT WOULD GO OFF AND THEN COME ONE AGAIN. TODAY AT 81,000 MILES I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, SO I HAD THEM DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW AIR BAG SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST ME OVER $1300.00 AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT SOMETHING A CONSUMER HAVE ACCESS TO, TO CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN AROUND NOT REALIZING THE WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL BECAUSE I AM SEEING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS MODEL. AND I AM UNSURE HOW A RECALL IS ESTABLISHED BUT I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES ON AND OFF AT START OF ENGINE AND CONTINUES WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING THAT AIRBAGS ARE NOT GOING TO DEPLOY IN EVENT OF FRONTAL IMPACT. I FEEL THIS IS SAFTY ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

I HAVE PROBLEM WHITE MY TOYOTA SIENNA PASANGER A IR BAG HAVE CODE BO111

I JUST BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA IN MARCH OF 2018 IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE IT ONLY HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. BUT THE DASH LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THE MAN SAID I NEEDED A NEW AIR BAG SYSTEM. I'V ONLY PUT ABOUT 7,000 MILES ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. WHY IS HAPPENING ? DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALSER TOYOTA (4401 AMERICAN BLVD W, BLOOMINGTON, MN 55437 (612) 294-0291) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC AND A REPAIR FEE WOULD BE CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

AIR BAG INDICATOR COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND APPEARS TO BE CORRECTED BY MOVING LOOSE WIRES UNDER FRONT SEATS. WIRES LOOK TO HAVE BAD CONNECTION. VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURING SINCE 59,000 MILES FOR THE PAST YEAR. CAN HAPPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT REST. TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT PROBLEM.

AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEY REPLACED PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG ASSY AND WIRE FLOOR.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON IN THE DASH OF MY MINIVAN .. THE START LIKE MONTH AGO BUT WHEN OFF BUT KNOW IT'S JUST FLASHING THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAG PLEASE THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO FIX IT... MY MINIVA ONLY HAVE 86000 MILLS ON IT.. NEVER BEEN IN CRASH SCENE SO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

FRONT SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR TURNS ON, THEN, IT SOMETIME OFF, SOMETIME ON. IT CONTINUES LIKE THIS WAY AGAIN AND AGIN TO TODAY. HAVE IT CHECKED AT TOYOTA DEALER. THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. SUGGETS REPLACE THE AIRBAG.

SRS LIGHT FLASHES. THE YELLOW CONNECTOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IS THE CULPRIT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF INCIDENTS ON THIS ON THE AUTO FORUMS. MANY HAVE COMMENTED THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SHOULD DO A FULL SAFETY RECALL TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *JS.

2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND AIRBAG CONNECTOR RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO WRONG ADDRESS. *SMD

MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY RESTRAINT ( AIRBAG) LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. THEY TOLD ME THE ENTIRE RESTRAINT SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REWIRED AT A COST OF $4000.00. WITHOUT IT, I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CAR OWNER. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT TURNS OFF. OTHER TIMES, MOVING THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT SEATS CAUSES IT TO TURN OFF. *TR

DRIVER AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AT ANY SPEED AND WHEN STANDING. I CHECK ONLINE, THERE WERE 13 SAME REPORTED CASES. SOME SAID THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FROM TOYOTA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2007 SIENNA STARTED FLASHING. THE TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILURE IN THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE DEALER INSTALLED UPDATED AIR BAG CONNECTORS AND PIG-TAIL HARNESS AS PER TSB. DEALER'S CHARGE: $337.39. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA DATABASE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR SHOWS 12 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 173, AS OF 9/12/2013. GIVEN THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THIS EQUIPMENT, THE NEED FOR IT TO OPERATE IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD EITHER RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES OR MAKE THIS REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE TOYOTA SIENNA LE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY CAME ON OR STAYED ON. CONTACTED TOYOTA STATED NOT A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. COULD STILL BE DRIVEN WAS ON VACATION IN TULSA OKLAHOMA. DROVE BACK TO CHARLESTON, SC. RECENTLY CONTACTED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON TOYOTA SIENNA STARTING YEAR 2008 TO PRESENT. *TR

UPON STARTING UP THE VEHICLE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR BEGAN BLINKING INSTESD OF GOING OUT. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WOULD BE $60-$115 JUST TO LOOK AT IT AND HE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I WILL BE TAKING TO AN INDEPENDANT MECHANIC TO GET HIS THOUGHTS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THIS IS A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD GO BAD. AND IF IT DOES THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR AS THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT. *TR

STARTED VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAG SRS LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING.THE LIGHT FLASHED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS THEN WENT OUT. ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER IT BEGAN FLASHING AGAIN.THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF .IT WILL BE OFF 2DAYS OR SO THEN FLASH FOR A DAY OR TWO. IT WAS OFF YESTERDAY BUT ON TODAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON LINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A DEALER BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING QUOTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE HAD THEIR CARS REPAIRED ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM RETURN.I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN IT FLASHES, IS IT OPERATIONAL? WE MAY BE DRIVING OUR CARS WITHOUT AIR BAG PROTECTION. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD; TOOK THE VAN TO LOCAL DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED CODE P0116 2 PART REPAIR REPLACEMENT OF LF SIDE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AND WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT WHICH COST OVER $1100; *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. *TR

HAD 2007 SIENNA SERVICED FOR BLINKING AIR BAG LIGHT AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE CLEANED; CHARGE WAS ROUGHLY $100 AS THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 60,000/5 YR WARRANTY. ON 05/29/2012 CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN FOR BLINKING AIR BAG LIGHT; HOWEVER, SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT BLINKING AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS SERVICED, SO THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE ASSESSED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE WIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,100. FUNNY HOW THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NEVER BE ASSESSED, AND NOW IT COSTS $1,100 TO FIX. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE NOT HAVING IT FIXED AND WE PRAY FOR NO ACCIDENTS--PRETTY SCARY. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WE WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA. *TR
