Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
89,385 miles.
LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED MY SIENNA AT HIGH SPEED AT STOP SIGN WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY TURN TO PROCEED. I WAS TRAVELLING WITH MY FAMILY. SIENNA GOT TOTALED DUE TO THIS. SIDE DOORS, BACK DOOR, BACK BUMPER, CARGO AND THIRD ROW SEAT AREA ALL GOT IMPACTED DUE TO THIS AND EVERYTHING CAVED INWARD BY FEW INCHES. MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS BEEN SHAKEN TO THE CORE AND ME AND MY WIFE ARE SUFFERINGS FROM SEVERE PAIN IN BACK AND NECK SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE CABIN WAS FILLED WILL WHITE SMOKE (POWDERY STUFF), BUT NO AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED (OPENED) DUE TO THE IMPACT. WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE ALL ARE STILL ALIVE SINCE WE HAD BEEN HIT FROM THE BACK AT HIGH SPEED. THE CAR HITTING US FROM THE BACK MUST BE TRAVELLING ABOVE 40 MILES AN HOUR SINCE MY FULLY LOADED SIENNA WITH 3 ADULTS AND A CHILD SKID FORWARD BY ALMOST 8-10 FEET. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN THAT EVEN AFTER SUCH A HIGH IMPACT COLLISION, NONE OF THE AIR BAG OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON A HIGHWAY AT A STOP SIGN (RIDGE RD AND ROUTE 52 JUNCTION IN KENDALL COUNTY, IL). I HAVE ATTACHED THE POLICE REPORT AND ALSO THE REAR OF MY CAR. IT RENDERED MY CAR UNDRIVABLE AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES ON AND OFF AT START OF ENGINE AND CONTINUES WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING THAT AIRBAGS ARE NOT GOING TO DEPLOY IN EVENT OF FRONTAL IMPACT. I FEEL THIS IS SAFTY ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES.

MY 2007 TOYOTA SIENNA AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR, BECAUSE IT WOULD DO IT ON AN INCONSISTENT BASIS, I DIDN'T GET IT CHECKED BECAUSE IT WOULD GO OFF AND THEN COME ONE AGAIN. TODAY AT 81,000 MILES I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE, SO I HAD THEM DIAGNOSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW AIR BAG SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST ME OVER $1300.00 AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT SOMETHING A CONSUMER HAVE ACCESS TO, TO CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN AROUND NOT REALIZING THE WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL BECAUSE I AM SEEING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS MODEL. AND I AM UNSURE HOW A RECALL IS ESTABLISHED BUT I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

THIS HAS BEEN OCCURING SINCE 59,000 MILES FOR THE PAST YEAR. CAN HAPPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT REST. TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT PROBLEM.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2007 SIENNA STARTED FLASHING. THE TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILURE IN THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE DEALER INSTALLED UPDATED AIR BAG CONNECTORS AND PIG-TAIL HARNESS AS PER TSB. DEALER'S CHARGE: $337.39. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA DATABASE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR SHOWS 12 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 173, AS OF 9/12/2013. GIVEN THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THIS EQUIPMENT, THE NEED FOR IT TO OPERATE IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD EITHER RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES OR MAKE THIS REPAIR AT NO COST TO THE OWNER.

UPON STARTING UP THE VEHICLE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR BEGAN BLINKING INSTESD OF GOING OUT. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WOULD BE $60-$115 JUST TO LOOK AT IT AND HE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR AND THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I WILL BE TAKING TO AN INDEPENDANT MECHANIC TO GET HIS THOUGHTS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THIS IS A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD GO BAD. AND IF IT DOES THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR AS THIS IS A SAFETY COMPONENT.

HAD 2007 SIENNA SERVICED FOR BLINKING AIR BAG LIGHT AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE CLEANED; CHARGE WAS ROUGHLY $100 AS THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 60,000/5 YR WARRANTY. ON 05/29/2012 CAR WAS SERVICED AGAIN FOR BLINKING AIR BAG LIGHT; HOWEVER, SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT BLINKING AT THE TIME THE CAR WAS SERVICED, SO THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE ASSESSED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE WIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,100. FUNNY HOW THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NEVER BE ASSESSED, AND NOW IT COSTS $1,100 TO FIX. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE NOT HAVING IT FIXED AND WE PRAY FOR NO ACCIDENTS--PRETTY SCARY. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WE WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA.

FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT IN 2007 SIENNA WITH ~49K MILES. DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACE FLOOR WIRE AND AIR BAG ASSEMBLY - $3500 TOTAL. NOT UNDER WARRANTY; ERROR CODE B0116. MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE INTERNET FOR 06/07 SIENNAS. CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND ITS AIRBAGS MORE THAN THE BASIC WARRANTY WHEN SAFELY EQUIPMENT FAILED LESS THAN 50K MILES. THE REPAIR COST IS TOO HIGH WHICH IS A RESULT OF BAD DESIGN. SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE BY MANUFACTURE, ESPECIALLY THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 50K. HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES WITH NO AIRBAG PROBLEMS EVER.
