Consumer Description

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I DECIDED TO DO RESEARCH FIRST AND FOUND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. SOME HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICES INCLUDING COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND CLOCK (WHICH HAPPENS TO HAVE FAULTY CIRCUIT THAT CAN RESULT IN THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.) SOME HAVE PAID OVER $1K IN SERVICE FEES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT IT. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING TO OWN UP TO THIS QUALITY DEFECT. IT'S NOT A WEAR AND TEAR (VEHICLE AGE) ISSUE. THE CULPRIT APPEARS TO BE A COMPONENT THAT CRACKS OFF THE PCB ON THE CLOCK. SOMEONE HAS REPORTED HAVING RE-SOLDERED THIS COMPONENT TO ELIMINATE THE INTERMITTENT AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE. WHEN WILL TOYOTA RECALL? *TR
