2008 Toyota HIGHLANDER Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	902388
Internal NHTSA #	10444409
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2008
File date	30/01/09
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag warning light comes on intermitently but frequently. Dealer has replaced parts twice but failed to correct the problem. Toyota usa sent a safety recall notice (interim notice) appoximately 10 months ago which seemed to describe the problem but said toyota was working on the remedy and a second owner notification would be sent when the remedy is available. The notice also said that when the air bag warning light comes on the air bags could deploy inadvertently and that the vehicle should be taken immediately to the dealer. The warning light comes on frequently but when the vehicle is taken to the dealer, he says that he cannot do anything to correct the problem until toyota issues the final recall. I have contacted toyota usa who state that they cannot give any date for when they will have a solution to this problem. Please help.
