Description of the problem	Air bag indicator light just came on at 110,000 miles, no accident, in the garage.. Took it to dealer and they are asking to replace spiral cable assembly in driver airbag at a cost of $663 and explained there was no recall on my vehicle. I called toyota and discussed the issue... I also found out that tacoma's had the same issue as well, interesting though, that my 08 highlander had same problem. Toyota confirmed my understandings as well. I searched internet and several other highlanders (almost identical vins) have faced the same issue. I think highlanders needs to be investigated for the similar issues which tacoma's faced.. This is a serious issue and needs to be given some attention. Http://www. Carproblemzoo. Com/toyota/highlander/air-bag-light-on-problems. Php the above website lists other highlander's which faced the same issue. I really appreciate the good work you guys are doing to make the roads/highways safer place for everyone.. Thank you. *js
