| Description of the problem | Air bag light continually flashing. Dealer says i need a wire harness replacement. Without it the air bags are inoperable. Toyota has had enough complaints about this on 1998 to 2000 model corolla that it issued a technical service bulletin for the problem. Dealer indicated that essentially this was a defective part. Despite this, toyota stated it was covered only under 3 years, 36,000 mile warranty. After that, they won't cover it by warranty. My warranty has expired.*ak |
