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.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
I have problem white my toyota sienna pasanger a ir bag have code bo111
I just bought a 2007 toyota sienna in march of 2018 it is in very good shape it only had 70,000 miles on it is why I bought it. But the dash lights keep coming on now the airbag light is on and the man said I needed a new air bag system. I'v only put about 7,000 miles on since I bought it. This is a safety issue this should not happen. Why is happening ? Does anyone know about this issue or have any suggestions.
Air bag indicator comes on and off intermittently and appears to be corrected by moving loose wires under front seats. Wires look to have bad connection. Very unpredictable. 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.
