Spiral cable assembly with electrical connections damaged. Airbag light stays on when the steering wheel is turned.

The airbag warning light comes on most of the time. Dash electrical system is inconsistent -- clock sometimes works for example, but usually not. Blinkers sometimes don't work as well. Primary safety concern is the airbag system though. I've had several mechanics run diagnostics. Sometimes diagnostics come up clean and sometimes not. Spent $300+ without resolve and haven't heard since initial recall notice about a fix.

Toyota matrix rx 2005. Started car, driver air bag light failed to extinguish. Shut off ignition. Restarted engine, light went out. Since 6/3/2013 the driver air bag light has been intermittent, staying on about half the time I start the car. Often it takes 3 to 4 restarts to finally get the light to stay off. Occasionally the driver air bag light will come on while driving. I pull over when I can and go through the restart procedure. Otherwise while light is on the driver air bag is disabled. That could certainly be a deadly proposition. Several times I have visited toyota service departments to be told, "something is loose", or "can't find a problem." today, 6/17/2015, I drove to my local toyota service department for the passenger air bag recall service. When I started the car the driver air bag light came on. I drove to the toyota service dept, about 10 miles, left engine running until the service writer could verify that the light was on. I asked that they check the driver air bag system because the light came on intermittently. Approximately 15 min later the asst service mgr called me stated there was no problem with the driver air bag. I told him the writer verified the light was on and requested they do a diagnostic on the driver air bag system. $98.55 later the problem was stated to be in the digital clock in the dash. Toyota quoted $506.59 to replace the digital clock in my car to make the driver air bag function, so I wouldn't die in a crash!!! This just doesn't sound right that a life saving system should depend on a "cheap" digital clock to function correctly at any moment without peripheral equipment getting in the way. This should be a safety recall item.

My air bag light came on two years after I bought the car and stays on. With so many recalls on defective takata airbags that were installed on many vehicles including toyota, I suspect that my vehicle is one of them. I have been patiently waiting for a rcall notice from the toyota manufacturer, so they can fix it, but so far, nothing can somebody in your office help to resolve this problem. I do not want to find out if this air bag works or not and get seriously hurt me and my family, god forbid, I get into an accident. Any help you can provide me is better than none, so please help! Thanks!
