Description of the problem	Air bag light came on in august of 2004 for no apparent reason (car has no history of accidents). Took it to the dealer where it was purchased (in the states- we now live in canada), air bags not covered under the purchase warranty. Dealer split the cost of replacing the left side air bag out of good will (we paid $418. 25). Light continued to come on repeatedly after fix. Dealer replaced computer component, adjusted harness, repeatedly tried to fix wiring. It is now june of 2006 and the light is still coming on- we have just replaced the right side air bag (at the cost to toyota- we paid for labor), and light is still coming on. Dealer has informed me that air bags will not function in the event of an accident when the light is on. This is concerning because we bought the car for the safety of the air bags and we are worried of being injured in a crash. Dealer is currently in contact with toyota regarding replacing computer components again. We are going on 2 years of having the same problem! An estimated $5000 has been put into fixing the vehicle, including labor for our 14+ visits to the dealer. The vehicle is considered unsafe and defective and we are unable to sell it. *nm
