We have a 2007 toyota prius and the airbag light on the dashboard will not shut off. It has not been in an accidentand I was told that there was a safety recall for this. It drives fine, I'm just worried that something bad will happen. This has been an ongoing problem for about 2-3 months.

2007 toyota prius complaint. We have a 2007 prius and the airbag light will not shut off at all. It was not in an accident or anything. I refuse to take it to the deal where they will charge for diagnosis and then repair which could turn out to be $400.00, I called them earlier this week to get an idea about the cost.

The dash board did not display when I turned on my car. Only the blinkers, and air bag lights work on the dash. The gas gauge and the speedodometer do not show, it is black. And my car will not turn off. It seams to me that this issue is a major safety issue.

Multiple times my 2007 toyota prius airbag system has failed due to a passenger weighing over 250 pounds sitting in the passenger seat. The problem seems to happen when the passenger wiggles when getting in or having a wallet in his back pocket. After he gets in the red airbag warning light comes on and it is my understanding that the airbag is then disabled. The airbag light will remain on until the dealer services the car. The dealer?s hand diagnostic tool once reported that the code was accident detected, but I challenged this and it was discovered that the code actually means occupant classification system fail. Unhooking the 12v battery will clear the system and supposedly make the airbag work properly again. The problem will reoccur when the same passenger gets in the passenger seat.
