Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2006 toyota sienna. In the first 33,000 miles i had three incidents where the airbag lights comes on. Each time i took to dealership to inspect, they claim to reset the airbags and it wasn't a problem. They said it was just a loose connection and something may have rolled under the drivers seat and may have hit a processing unit for the airbags causing the light to come on. With this explanation i thought it was a simple problem to fix and they never informed me that it would affect airbag deployment. So in each incident i delayed going to the dealership by thousands of miles, and only until my vehicle require other services would i request that they also check my airbag lights/system. Now at 86,000 miles and out of warranty my airbag lights have been on for 10,000 miles. My vehicle requires its 90,000 mile maintenance and so i ask them to check the airbag lights again. They return, informing me that i need new airbags and a wire harness assembly which is to cost $4000 to repair. I have complained about it to erica bryan at toyotas? Customer center (case#1012230983) who informed me that their regional office has offered to pay for half of the airbag replacement. I find this unacceptable. Had i been informed correctly of the serious effect of my airbag lights going off and the possibility of it malfunctioning or not deploying i certainly would of escalated my actions with toyota early on when it was still under warranty. Possibly even evoking the maryland state lemon law. I do not have the money ($2000, 50% of cost)to replace the airbag units at this time, so i am now forced to drive my vehicle without working airbags.
