2009 Toyota Sienna Air Bags

2009 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH 134K MILEAGE HAS SRS WARNING LIGHT ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND STAYS ON. TOYOTA DEALER WOULD CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSING AND CHARGE ME IF ANY FURTHER JOBS NEED TO BE DONE. SHOULDN'T THIS BE RECALLED AND HANDLED WITHOUT ANY CHARGE TO OWNERS AS IT'S MATTER OF SAFETY ISSUE?

THE AIRBAG LIKE CAME ON AND HAS NOT GONE OFF. HAD MECHANIC CHECK IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SQUIB CIRCUIT HAD A SHORT AND THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. DEALER SAID IT COULD COST UP TO $2600 TO FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER SIENNA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS TOYOTA NOT RECALLED THIS, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR THERE FAULTY PRODUCT. NOW BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY TO REPAIR.
