2005 Toyota MATRIX Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	My vehicle is a 2005 toyota matrix xr. It has never been involved in a collision or impact in any way. At approx. 37000 miles, the srs warning light activate and was diagnosed as a faulty spiral cable/clockspring. The spiral cable was replaced which did eliminate the srs warning light. I now have 60500 miles on this vehicle and again the srs light has activated, and has again been diagnosed with a faulty spiral cable, the repair cost has now been estimated by my local toyota dealer as $440. 71, and they have confirmed that the srs system will not function until the repair is made. I now have my 2 sons, new drivers, that use this car. I fear that even if i get this problem fixed, again, that it will again fail at some point while in use and put them at risk. I have owned many vehicles that have had srs systems, but this is the only time i've ever had a problem, let alone a repeat problem, with a specific component. In my research, it sounds like many other toyota matrix and other toyota models in the same years of production are experiencing spiral cable/clockspring problems. This problem can effect the survivability of the occupants and truly concerns me. Thanks so much for considering my concerns.
