What owners say
Last fall, my yaris' air bag warning light came on and I took it to the dealership for repair. They said they fixed the spiral cable, leading to the air bag. I asked why it had happened and they did not know. The repair was around $600. Today, I heard about the recall for air bag lights coming on in the yaris and I called the corporate toyota headquarters and was told the recall does not cover my car because it did not have a "7 channel spiral cable," even though the repair to my car was for the spiral channel. I am concerned that not all yaris' are being included in the recall and that my car is not safe. (as of now, they do not even have a fix for the 7-channel spiral channel recall.)
The SRS airbag warning light started lighting up periodically and then eventually stayed on. Ran an obd test that showed the clock spring was shorted. This is located in the steering wheel behind the airbag. Have seen many online complaints on this issue and feel a recall is in order. This is not a cheap dealer repair (more than $500) and can be a serious safety issue if the airbags do not deploy in a crash. It really needs to be urgently looked into before life or limb is lost, if it hasn't happened already.
Air bag warning light came on and stayed on, took to dealership got diagnostic and it is the air bag coil spring, needs to be replaced, advised that the air bags most likely will not deploy in a crash. Cost to repair estimated at $500, no longer under warranty. Toyota should repair for free, should not be a part that wears out.
Air bag light came on and stayed on. Per manual took to dealer for diagnosis ($97). Diagnosed faulty spiral cable which will keep driver's side front airbag from deploying and may turn off entire airbag system. Cost to replace cable quoted as $453.
We have 25 2007 toyota yaris's, 14 of 25 the air bag light stays on. The light comes on at approx 120,000 because of a switch in the steering column, toyota declines to repair it, and will not give us a straight answer whether it will keep the safety device (air bag) from deploying even though the vehicle has never been in an accident.
