| Description of the problem | Airbag light came on in my 2006 toyota sienna w/ approx 80,000 mi. Dealer informed me that the passenger side airbag and harness need replacement, but the harness will not be available until march 2011. They offered to replace just the air bag, but would not guarantee that this will solve the problem. I am forced to either take a chance and spend money on just the air bag, not knowing whether it will work, or take a chance to drive the vehicle for 4 months with an inoperative airbag and hope that i never am in a situation where i need it. I am uncomfortable with both choices. I am very concerned that toyota does not have the part available. If so many people are needing this part, would this not necessitate a recall? |
