2006 Toyota Sienna Air Bags

FEBRUARY 13 2011 JUST BOUGHT A USED TOYOTA SIENNA... DRIVEN LESS THAN 200 MILES AND THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. THERE WAS NO REAL REASON THAT THIS LIGHT WOULD'VE BEEN TRIGGERED. JUST DROVE THE CAR AS WE NORMALLY HAVE DONE. *TR

I WANTED TO REPORT THAT MY 2006 SIENNA WITH 97,070 MILES CAME UP WITH A B011 CODE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND WIRE HARNESS. TO MY TOTAL SHOCK I WAS QUOTED 2,900 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AREA OF TOYOTA AND HAD A NON COMMITTAL RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE STANDARD CANNED ANSWER. THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I WOULD HAVE FURTHER EXPECTED THAT WITH THE PAST SAFETY ISSUES TOYOTA HAD THAT WOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. HE STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE ENTIRE FRONTAL AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DECISION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IS ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS LEFT SIDE AIRBAG AND WIRE HARNESS NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ON WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM. *TR

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH FLASHES WHEN THE VAN IS TURNED ON. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. MY SIENNA IS INOPERABLE UNTIL REPAIRED. THERE IS A LONG WAIT, ONE TO THREE MONTHS, TO GET THIS PART REPLACED AS IT IS ON BACK ORDER FROM TOYOTA. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 AIR BAG WIRING HARNESSES ON BACK ORDER FOR OUR REGION ALONE. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MULTITUDES OF OTHER 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. AIR BAGS ARE INCLUDED TO HELP SAVE LIVES, BUT THEY DO NOT WORK PROPERLY ON THE 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. A RECALL SHOULD BE INSTITUTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THE AIR BAGS IN ALL 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA'S' WILL WORK PROPERLY. UNLESS THIS DEFECT IS FIXED, THE 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

SRS WARNING LIGHT AT FIRST CAME ON AND STAYED ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY ON. RESEARCHING THE INTERNET WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED BEFORE NOW. WE HAVE FOUND THAT IN MOST CASES IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET IT REPAIRED. AS SENIOR CITIZENS, WE CANNOT COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY. HAS A RECALL BEEN ISSUED, OR, IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BEEN DONE? *KB

06 TOYOTA SIENNA AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHTS UP INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS PROBLEM WITH LOOSE CONNECTOR FOR SIDE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONNECTOR CANNOT BE TIGHTENED OR INDIVIDUALLY REPLACED. WE MUST REPLACE ENTIRE AIRBAG AT COST OF $2,500. NO AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY WITH LIGHT ON. MANY COMPLAINTS IN INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. *KB

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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS OR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S FRONT SEAT AIR BAGS BOTH FAILED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR IMPACT. THE ONLY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS THE ILLUMINATED AIR BAG INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. BOTH AIR BAGS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT A COST TO THE OWNER OF $1,273. TOYOTA DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND REQUIRED THE OWNER TO PAY THE ENTIRE $1,273 CHARGE. AFTER THE OWNER CONTACTED TOYOTA NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS, A $500 TOYOTA MERCHANDISE CREDIT WAS OFFERED, WHICH THE OWNER IS UNLIKELY TO USE DUE TO THE OWNER'S RELUCTANCE TO PURCHASE ANY TOYOTA PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE. UPDATED 01/23/10 UPDATED 01/20/11. *JB

I OWN A 2006 SIENNA WITH 90K+ MILES, I'M OUT OF WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH I HAVE PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY MY REPAIR WAS NOT TOTALLY COVERED. I TOOK MY VAN IN TO DEALER BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING, AFTER DIAGNOSED I WAS TOLD 1 OF THE SEAT AIRBAGS WAS BAD AND ALSO THE ENTIRE AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS WAS BAD. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS TO HELP ME OUT, WHICH HE DID, THEY WILL PAY FOR PARTS AND I WILL PAY FOR REPAIR, $1327. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS MYSELF, I WAS TOLD THAT IN FACT MY AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEM PAYING FOR THE PARTS WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO. I WAS THEN CONTACTED BY A TOYOTA PARTS SPECIALIST WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE WIRE HARNESS FOR MY VAN WAS ON ORDER, EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AT THE REPAIRING DEALER APPROXIMATELY 12/15. THE REPAIRING DEALER CONTACTED ME AS WELL AND TOLD ME THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS PLACED ON ORDER EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON 12/15, AND THAT THEY HAD PUT IN AS A RUSH. ON 12/15 THE SAME TOYOTA PARTS SPECIALIST LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL ON MY CELLPHONE ADVISING ME THAT IN FACT THE PART (WIRE HARNESS) SHOWED AS SHIPPED TO DEALER IN THEIR DATABASE, HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT ACCURATE HE SAID "THE PART (WIRE HARNESS) HAS NOT BEEN EVEN MANUFACTURED YET". ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAS PUT ME ON A RENTAL CAR, IT IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND MY FAMILY THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH A FIX INVOLVING A SAFETY ISSUE, WITH A MALFUNCTIONING WIRE HARNESS THE AIRBAGS ARE INOPERABLE. I THINK THAT TOYOTA SHOULDN'T BE BRAGGING ABOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY AS IN MY CASE, THEY HAVE A MALFUNCTIONING PART WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN USED AND CANNOT BE USED, WORST YET THEY CAN'T FIX. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND AS OF TODAY THE LIGHT IS STILL GOING ON. IS MY AIR BAG WORKING? NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THE DEALER HAS RE-SET THE LIGHT AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND CHANGED THE AIR BAG, THIS HAS BEEN AND ON-GOING PROBLEM . *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE HARNESS SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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? *TR

02-08-2010 UNDER BAD SNOWING WEATHER CONDITION I FOUND THAT AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON DASHBOARD IN MY TOYOTA SIENNA CE 2006. 02-10-2010 I WAS IN KOONS TYSONS TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER 8610 LEESBURG PIKE, VIENNA, VA 22182 I GOT DIAGNOSTICS REPORT: 'FAULT CODE# B0111' AND I WAS "ADVISED THAT RIGHT SEAT (SIDE) AIRBAG NEEDS REPLACEMENT $945.50". BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT DIAGNOSTICS WASN'T DONE CAREFULLY. MY VEHICLE WAS IN OUTDOOR CONDITION UNDER SNOWING STORM. SERVICE CENTER HASN'T CHECKED ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, ELECTRIC, LIGHTS' (THERE ARE NO RECORDS ABOUT ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, ELECTRIC, LIGHTS'. IN THE REPORT). I KNOW THAT LEFT TAIL LIGHT DOESN'T WORK IN MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T SEE THAT THIS ISSUE IS MENTIONED IN THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT SERVICE CENTER HAS CHECKED ERROR CODE ONLY. SO I CAN'T TRUST THIS DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON AND OFF SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY CAR. PERIODICALLY...AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON...MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO...IT WILL GO OUT. THEN AFTER A MONTH...ON AGAIN. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE DEALER WHEN IT'S ACTING UP. I HAVE READ OR NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR 2006 SIENNAS. *TR

ON OCT 15, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THE SQUIB AND HARNESS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER IT SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS 6000 MILES OVER, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T. SAID IT COULD COST AROUND $3000 FOR ME TO REPLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING ON SUNDAY, 10/17/10. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC ON 10/20/10 AND WAS TOLD THE CENTER SQUIB NEEDED REPLACED ...UPON REPLACING ON 10/22, WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER ERROR CODE WAS DISPLAYED INDICATING AIRBAG REPLACEMENT NEEDED BY A TOYOTA DEALER. MY CAR HAS JUST WENT OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AT 62,000 MILES. I AM UNHAPPY THAT NOT EVEN 4 YEARS AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 06, I AM FACED WITH REPAIR COSTS THAT ARE LARGE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECURRING FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE WITH OTHERS DRIVING AN 06 SIENNA. AND AS A MOTHER OF 3, I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE SAFELY UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS BUT NO RECALL..WHICH IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE FOR SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA WENT OFF. WHEN THE VAN WAS LESS THAN 6,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE AIRBAG UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS DISARMS ALL THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 5 WEEKS FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE REPAIR COSTS $3200.00, BUT THE DEALER DISCOUNTED IT TO $1,900.00. THEY SAY THE WAIT IS BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A DEMAND FOR THE WIRING HARNESS! MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING WITHOUT THEIR AIRBAGS! THIS SEEMS TO ME SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN UNDUE EXPENSE TO OWNERS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA, NEW. IN LATE 2007 THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED AND "RECALIBRATED" THE SYSTEM TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF. THE LIGHT CAME ON AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES IN 2008. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHY THE LIGHT WAS COMING ON. A SERVICE REP. TOLD ME THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BEING JARRED AND MAKING THE LIGHT COME ON. THE DEALERSHIP DID SAY THAT THERE HAD BEEN SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER SIENNA'S AND THAT A NEW PART BEING SENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, OR AS PART OF ADDING THIS CORRECTIVE PART, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN IN EARLY 2010. AGAIN, I TOOK THE VAN IN. THE SERVICE REP. CHECKED THE SENSOR WIRES UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I ASKED IF THE LIGHT ILLUMINATING MEANT THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY'THE SERVICE REP. SAID POSSIBLY. I ASKED HYPOTHETICALLY, IF I HAD TO SUDDENLY BREAK AND SOMETHING ROLLED UNDER MY SEAT, HITTING THE WIRES, COULD IT DISCONNECT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. HE SAID YES. SO, I ASKED IF THAT DISCONNECT WOULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING, POSSIBLY IN A CRASH FOLLOWING THE SUDDEN BRAKE'HE SAID YES. I WAS THANKFUL FOR THE HONESTY, BUT FRUSTRATED NONE THE LESS. THE SERVICE REP. DID TELL ME THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM WAS NOT ONLY WITH MY SIENNA. HE SAID THIS SEEMED TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA IN GENERAL. *TR

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING ON MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA ON 09/20/10. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES IF THIS OCCURS, TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. I WAS RECENTLY ADVISED BY COBB COUNTY TOYOTA THAT MY AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $2400. SINCE MY 2006 SIENNA HAS 76K MILES ON IT, TOYOTA WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. I ASKED HOW AN UNUSED AIRBAG COULD BE DEFECTIVE, I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THAT WAS THE COMPLETE ANSWER. SO, I CHECKED ONLINE. AND, SURE ENOUGH, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 SIENNA. AND, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE REASON. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE (NO) CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT ALL SHE COULD DO WAS DOCUMENT MY CONCERN. NO MANAGER COULD CALL OR ASSIST ME. NO ONE COULD SEND ME A LETTER STATING WHY AN UNUSED AIRBAG IS SUDDENLY DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. *TR
