Around 150,000 miles, my airbag warning light started blinking on my dash. It has turned itself off a couple of times but then came back on. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it to turn on or off.
2006 Toyota Sienna airbags complaints
Page 3 of 11: complaints 41 to 70 of 307, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The airbag sensor light comes on and flashes. It will shut off and turn on randomly. The wire harness under the seat becomes loose or damaged as the seats are moved and airbags are not detected. The light stays flashing and airbags are non-functional. Toyota knows about this but tries to charge thousands of dollars for them to replace their faulty wires.
Airbag light flashing without cause at 150,000 miles
The airbag light started flashing on and off constantly without any accident when I drive in city highway.
My 2006 sienna, airbag SRS light is blinking all the time, which means airbag won't be deployed during accident. This is very critical. I saw so many owners of 2006 sienna complain about the exactly same issue. Why is this not recalled?
Srs warning indicator is continuously showing up in a blinking mode.
Airbag light indicator is on without the car involved in an accident. The repair person(delaer) checked it and says the complete assembly has to be replaced and he is not sure why it went fault. I suspect it is a manufacturing defect with the wiring
Water comes out the airbag location on driver side . The SRS light comes on. The vehicle was in motion.
My 2006 sienna airbags unpredictably become non-functional. That is, the warning light goes on and off at unpredictable intervals. I am told by the dealer service representatives that the airbags are non-functional (I.e., system shut down) when the warning light is flashing. This is a severe safety concern to me for the sake of my family. It is galling since the airbag system was a major selling point of the car. An estimate repairs by dealer is $1100 apparently included replacing whole airbag system. I do not understand why de owner has to respond for a secure system that never had used, and why the manufacturer not warns that the air bag system will degrade over time. The van is in motion on a city.
Takata recall airbag light on when start engine and airbag light on still on not turn off after one minuter
Airbag warning light on intermittently sometimes days other times months. Noted numerous complaints on the internet from other toyota owners dealer squawks the wiring harness and airbag. Very unreliable safety protection.

The airbag warning lamp is a red image located on the instrument panel . Need to change or recall . Thank
Air bag light blinking, has come up several times, the web is full of unhappy people with this problem but no recall according to dealer.
The driver's air bag light blinks on and off. The issue was traced to drivers seat wiring. The seat wires are easily exposed. The wires get in contact with the driver's foot causing damage to the wires. This leads to a problem detecting a wight on the seat that in turn enables the air bags.
The SRS warning light comes on and off intermittently. I have read many online forums and this seems to be a common problem. I am hoping a recall will be issued for the safety of my family and all the other families out there with similar issues. I am usually able to fix it by jiggling the wiring under the driver and passenger seats.
Airbag light blinking for passenger side. Happened before. Kaiserslautern, germany toyota dealership said if it happens again that airbag may have to be replaced and it would cost 1,500 to 2,000 dollars. Safety should be not expire within 3-5 year warranty. Should be lifetime until owner owns/has the vehicle. Should be fixed/replaced with no charge. On a different topic, the wheels/rims is another issue. It bubbled/corroded and toyota said not covered under warranty. Constantly losing air before I bought new aftermarket wheels. Should have been fixed/replaced by toyota also. Btw, daytime phone is address in chicago. My number for germany is 011 49 6371 56000351.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota sienna. While parking the vehicle, it accelerated independently without warning and crashed into the contact's residence. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries reported. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was repaired for the damages, but the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Air bag warning light started flashing indicating a problem with the side air bags. My internet research reveals that this is a very common problem with the 2006 toyota sienna, toyota has issued two technical service bulletins but they refuse to correct the problem with out making extensive charges to their customers. My vehicle has been through normal use and never in an accident.
On march 13, 2015 driving on I-95 south in a 2006 toyota sienna van the cruise control would not disengage when the brakes were applied approaching an exit ramp. The vehicle would not slowdown in spite of pressing the brake pedal as hard as possible. Moving the control lever forward to disengage the function was also not successful. The exit ramp was inclined so the cruise control accelerated the engine in an attempt to maintain our speed at 70 MPH. The vehicle went thru a stop sign, bounced off the guard rail and came to a sudden stop with the engine not running. The impact destroyed the right side of the vehicle and the stopping was so abrupt that the cell phone (in my shirt pocket)flew out ripping the pocket off the shirt. Neither the front nor the side air bags were deployed. Skid marks made by the vehicle's right front tire (and possibly the rear right tire) prior to and after hitting the guard rail indicate the brakes were working on at least this side. Skid marks attributable to the left hand tires were not noticed.
The SRS warning light on my 2006 toyota sienna went on. On checking with toyota service, I was told that it would cost me $624/- to fix the problem. They had reported that there was a b0111 (opening in switch core error) that happened. This is a safety issue with the toyota sienna and must be part of a factory recall. There are numerous other folks with similar complaints on the toyota sienna 2006 model.

My wife stated that when she started up the van, the airbag light came on and stayed flashing the entire time she was driving. I checked for myself and found the same issue. I referenced the owners manual which stated that it needs to be taken to service immediately.
Driving my daughter home from school the SRS indicator light came on in dashboard and began flashing. This is the "drivers side" indicator, not the passenger side indicator located beneath the clock.
My airbag light came on. I took it to a toyota dealership for repair. They ordered the part, but then also informed me I needed a new water pump. I had the water pump repaired, then several weeks later the airbag part came in, but I didn't have the money to have it repaired. I still have the part. Now there is a recall on some toyota models, but I did not find a recall specific to my vehicle. I think my vehicle should maybe be included in this recall. What do I need to do? I do not have the money to have the airbag part installed and repaired. Just let me say I love, love, love my 2006 sienna. I will keep it until it dies.
The airbag light began blinking. I took it to the dealership for a diagnosis and was told that both air bags would need to be replaced at a cost of nearly $1,500. Our sienna only has 86k miles on it and has not been in an accident. From my research, this air bag problem with this particular vehicle has garnered several complaints. It is my opionion that this is a known issue at toyota and should be subject to a recall.
The driver airbag comes on and off periodically.
The air bag warning light started flashing.
Was involved in a mvc where the vehicle went off the road, the front end hit first over an embankment, and then the vehicle proceeded to roll multiple times. There were no airbags to deploy, yet the airbag sensors on the front of vehicle were smashed flat? There wash total loss of the vehicle. Requesting an investigation of the vehicle airbags as to why they did not deploy. Vehicle has already been released to salvage yard by the insurance company but a "hold" has been placed on the vehicle pending an investigation.
Airbag warning light has been on since approximately mid july 2014. I received a warranty enhancement notice from toyota (regarding a side airbag connector may have been improperly manufactured in 2006 sienna) which requested that I contact a toyota dealership to determine if this condition is covered by the warranty enhancement "at no charge to you" particularly if the airbag light is on. When I called two different dealerships to check the vehicle, both dealerships told me I had to pay over $100 for the testing. The second dealership said they would cover the fee for the testing only and if the problem was the one listed on the warranty-but I would not know that until after the testing was done-so they would charge me for the screening after the testing ruled out a side airbag connector issue-over $100. I called the toyota number listed on the warranty several times and spoke with toyota representatives but they ultimately stated my issue was with the dealership-not toyota. They refused to put me through to a supervisor only "colleagues". I do not think I should pay anything to be screened for this issue and when I reread the warranty that is what it clearly indicates-" no charge".
