| Description of the problem | The srs light started blinking "on" when driving approximately 65 mph. The light remained blinking for a few days then the blinking stopped. The blinking began again after a week. I took the vehicle in to a toyota dealer who diagnosed the problem. They said that toyota has a bulletin out on it: tsb-0162-10 "srs light "on" - b0111/b0116 - open side squib circuit the repair at the dealer was quoted at $3682. 22. I felt this was unreasonable that toyota knew about this safety issue and others have had the same problem but it was not deemed a "recall". I contacted toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and spoke with a representative. I voiced my concern and they made a case number: 1203051801. They admitted that there was a bulletin out on the issue but that it was not a recall. I was very upset because we did not cause this defect and it puts our family of 5 at great risk! We cannot afford to have this defect fixed at this time and feel that toyota should own up to this problem that is affecting many and putting family's at great risk! We purchased the van new with working air bags - they have never be deployed, and we have never done anything to access or modify their workability so this should not be our problem. Highway safety requires air bags in all vehicles and should hold toyota accountable for this defect. *jb |
