| Description of the problem | There was no accident, the srs warning light came on, blinking, indicating an issue with the system. I took it to my dealer, was quoted a repair of $1600 for a new wire harness. I declined. I researched online for several days and found that this is a very common issue with this particular toyota make and model. Often people get the repair done and the light comes on within days. This is a safety issue and an issue with the design of the car, not user error. I have never been in an accident, the airbags have never been deployed, so i can't understand why normal use would cause such an expensive repair. Toyota needs to do a recall of this make and model or provide a fix that will work. The wire harness for this model is under the front seats, which get moved and jostled daily. The passenger seat has a bin that slides in and out directly above the wires for the srs! I have jostled the wires and the light goes off. So now i don't know if my airbags even work. The dealer wants $150 just to tell me yes or no on that. Please look through your records to find more of these complaints as i know they have been filed.
