| Description of the problem | Our toyota sienna 2006 airbag light had been going on and off on the instrument panel. Took it to the toyota dealership, they insist they have never heard of this problem. There are multiple complaints on the internet for this model and year. Not to mention other models being recalled for the same problem.. They are not diagnosing the cause but trying to replace the entire system.(wiring harness, sensors and airbags) i believe an investigation as to the faulty component or components are in order. Are the replacement parts they are wanting to use the same as they faulty ones. Are any of they airbag components in the sienna the same as the toyota highlander. (sensors chips, wiring harness). The dealership says they are using the same components that were originally were installed. Have read multiple forum complaints of people on there second or third total replacement of the entire airbag system. The dealership said it could take one to two months to get the parts because of national shortage. Again a shortage, are too many siennas have the same problem, or are the components that are faulty similar to the highlander and are being used in that recall. |
