| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sienna with 92,000 miles (past warranty) that has a flashing dash light that is supposed to indicate that the air bag system isn't working properly. Toyota has repaired it twice. The indicator light is flashing again, and i don't know if there is a true malfunction with the air bags or not. The dealer and toyota said they would not repair the problem again. I thought that in maine (nationally?) such inoperable safety equipment must be repaired free of charge. Am i correct? The problem is a severe safety issue;the air bags may not deploy in an accident -- the flashing fault indicator may not be correct, but my dealer can't assure me of that. I am told that resolving the issue (again!) could cost up to $2,000. |
