Every time that the passenger seat is moved forward to allow passengers in or out the air bag light in the vehicle starts blinking. The light will blink for around 15 days before it shuts off if the passenger seat is not moved forward for passengers during that time. The next time the passenger seat is moved forward for passengers, the cycle starts over again.

Airbag light flashed on/off back in aug. 2003. I took it to the dealership to be repaired and thought that was the end of the problem. Almost a year later in july 2004 my airbag light started flashing on/off again, I then returned it to the dealership where once again it was "fixed or repaired" now, two months later I'm having again the same problem. I don't think toyota knows how to fix this issue and it's a real concern to think that if there's a possible accident or inncodent the air bag(s ) may not deploy. I'm frustrated with this problem and am filing a complaint in hopes that maybe someone will listen or pay attention. This could get to be a costly issue that never gets resolved. I know I'm not the only person to have filed a complaint about this issue. This is a defective vehicle with a frustrating problem.

Passenger air bag warning light comes on frequently. Within the first year, the air bag light came on and stayed on. The dealership indicated that there was a failure with the airbag assembly and replaced the entire passenger seat and assembly. Since then, the light just comes on randomly and stays on until I take it to a dealership. Each time, they fix "something". Several of the times, they have told me that the wires underneath the seat come disconnected over time. They then proceed to "fix" it. However, it seems to happen again within several months. One time, they said it was a loose connector from the steering. All times, the dealership has fixed this without charging me. This last time, the dealership told me that the problem was the loose cable under the seat again, but because the prior problem was not this same thing (e.g. The steering connection), it was not covered under warrantly and I would have to pay $200 to have it fixed. I am very dissapointed. This is obvioulsy a recurring issue. And I'm not the only one having these kings of problems. When will their be a recall of this? It is clearly a safety issue. The dealer is obviously not able to permanently fix this problem (after 6 trys, you'd think they would figure it out). I don't want to have to pay every time I need it fixed.

While driving air bag light would flash/blink. Would not remain solid. Sounds like cables hitting something under hood. Been to dealership numerous times, but mechanic could not locate cause of problem. Mechanic indicated that he tightened a pin, but problem still exists.
