| Description of the problem | The air bag failure light came on in my 2004 toyota sienna, which i purchased new in 2004. The vehicle has never been in an accident. I took the vehicle to a toyota dealer for diagnosis. I was told that the passenger side air bag had become defective and that the air bag and its associated harness would have to be replaced at a cost of $2600. Toyota does not cover this safety problem after the vehicle's warranty has expired. I think that the manufacturer should have to absorb the costs of repairs to any defects in an important safety system such a the srs airbags for the life of the vehicle. |
