Description of the problem | Our driver side srs airbag warning light has been intermittently on for over a year. Sometimes it doesn't go out when the car is started and stays on while driving; other times it goes out like normal a few seconds after the car is started, but spontaneously comes on and stays on later while driving. Once it's on, i have to pull over and turn the ignition off, wait a few seconds, and then restart the car to get it to turn off. This is not always successful. The toyota dealer was no help at all - couldn't find anything wrong, and said that i'd need to bring the car back when the light was actually on. Since the problem is inconsistent, i haven't been able to do that. I'm very afraid that someone in my family may be injured should we get in a collision, because i understand that if the light is on, the airbag is inoperable. |
