2009 toyota sienna with 134k mileage has SRS warning light on all of a sudden and stays on. Toyota dealer would charge me for diagnosing and charge me if any further jobs need to be done. Shouldn't this be recalled and handled without any charge to owners as it's matter of safety issue?

The airbag like came on and has not gone off. Had mechanic check it and was told that the squib circuit had a short and that if in an accident airbags will not deploy. Dealer said it could cost up to $2600 to fix. After some research, I have found that there are a lot of other sienna owners with this same problem. Why has toyota not recalled this, because it sounds like a manufacturing issue and consumer should not have to pay that kind of money for there faulty product. Now because of this faulty equipment I have no choice but to drive an unsafe vehicle because I can not afford that kind of money to repair.

The car accelerated to 68.4 MPH. I could not stop car first time with ABS brakes. I took my foot off the brake and it helped but it was too late. The car hit the tree. The sienna's brakes did not work properly at first, the car so how went from 30 MPH to 68.4 MPH and the steering did not work. Something has to be done when 1.2 million dollars of damage to a family. Luckily metropolitan and aetna limited the health care personals. The car was damaged beyond repair. We have new friends called collections companies. Please do not buy toyota. The corporation considers the accident not their fault.

On 12/25/14 the toyota sienna had unexplained acceleration and hit a tree at 31 MPH. My wife and son had right side lung contusions. My wife had an open wound from the seat belt. Since she was restrained that well she had a broken left leg and a right clavicle fracture that required surgeries. My wife almost died in delray beach medical center due to blood loss and poor medical attention. We know the seat belt did not work well because the rest of us were able to walk away from the crash. My wife is still suffering and realized from the american council safety lessons that her seat belt did not function correctly and the side bags are dangerous.
