2006 TOYOTA SIENNA Air Bags Problems

Airbag warning light intermittently flashes, upon personal research on owner forums this is a common issue that is most commonly fixed by wiggling or disconnecting/reconnecting the airbag sensor wiring below the front seats.

Airbag system warning light due to failing connector under the front passenger seat. Code 44 / B0111. See Toyota T-SB-0069-12. This is a pattern failure in a critical safety system.

MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA HAS AN INTERMITTENT AIRBAG WARNING LAMP APPEAR OFF AND ON. I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING VARIOUS RECALLS WHICH HAVE USUALLY BEEN DISMISSED AS UNNECESSARY FROM THE VARIOUS DEALERS WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE TOYOTA HAS BEEN MOSTLY NON-COMPLIANT WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMING WARRANTY OR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. AT LEAST THAT HAS BEEN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IT TOOK THE THREAT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION FROM THE U.S. CONGRESS TO GET A RESPONSE FROM THE CEO OF TOYOTA TO ATTEND A HEARING ON VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES, SO I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN THE VAN. MY AUTO TECH SAID THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. HE ALSO SAID THE PROBLEM WITH THE VAN IS A WIRING DEFECT, AND NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUAL AIR BAGS. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE VANS AND FIX THEM AT THEIR COST. THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNED ON ONE DAY AND HAS REMAINED ON TO THIS DATE (8/7/2019) EVERY TIME WHEN WE TURN ON ENGINE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL CAR OWNER, AND THE ODOMETER IS 78919 MILES. WE CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND WERE INFORMED THAT OUR 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN IS NOT ON AIRBAG RECALL LIST.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. CAR HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE ABOUT 60,000 MILES. BLINKS 3-4 TIMES AND GOES OFF. BLINKS AGAIN. IF I JIGGLE THE WIRES UNDER THE SEAT IT WILL TURN OFF BUT COMES BACK ON AGAIN EVENTUALLY. HAPPENS FROM THE TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. RECURRING PROBLEM FOR PROBABLY 10 YEARS. BEEN WAITING FOR A FIX/RECALL.

TOYOTA HAS AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH AIRBAG/SRS WIRING HARNESSES THAT FAIL. WHEN THE WIRING HARNESS FAILS IT DISABLES THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM. THE OCCUPANT IS THEN AT RISK IN A COLLISION. THIS CONDITION INITIATED ON ITS OWN AND IS NOT THE RESULT OF A COLLISION. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER RELAYED THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WOULD COST OVER $2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. IT SHOWS UP ON THE OBDII DIAGNOSTIC AS A RIGHT-SIDE AIRBAG SQUIB. THIS CODE IS AS FOLLOWS; B0106 CODE OPEN IN P SQUIB CIRCUIT.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON

THE AIRBAGS WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON AND FLASHES. YOU NOTICE IT SECONDS AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED. IF I WIGGLE THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT SOMETIMES GOES AWAY. THEN IT SHOWS UP AGAIN...AND AGAIN.

MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA SUDDENLY HAS A BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT 10 DAYS AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST COAST TOYOTA (181 BROAD STREET, CARLSTADT, NJ 07072) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 202,000.

AIR BAG FAULT LIGHTS FOR YEARS. DEALER HAS FIXED THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES POINTING TO BAD PLUG CONNECTORS. HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS OVER THE YEARS WITH SAME PROBLEM. INFORMS ME THAT IT NEEDS NEW AIR BAGS AS THE PLUGS ARE PART OF THE AIR BAG. VERY EXPENSIVE! HAVE LEARNED TO JIGGLE YELLOW AIR BAG CONNECTORS UNDER SEAT TO RESOLVE PROBLEM. DEALER INDICATED THEY ADJUSTED PIN CONNECTORS IN THE PAST? RIDICULOUS AS THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY IN THE CONNECTOR AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE AIR BAG. SPENT ENOUGH MONEY ON THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM OVER THE YEARS. PLEASE SEE TOYOTA TSB -1062-10 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THIS LONG TIME DEFECT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEEN FLASHING ALL THE TIME.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. WHILE DRIVING OR BEING ON IT FLASHES.

SYSTEM IS PRESENTING AIRBAG WARNING CODES B0111 & B0116. THESE CODES MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND $3000-4000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT IF THE BLUE BECAUSE A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AT RANDOM INTERVAL BOTH STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. UNPLUGGING AND PLUGGING THE CONNECTORS MANY TIMES CAN SOMETIMES SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS. THE AIRBAG LAMP WOULD COME BACK. IT'S VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVING WITH WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR. NEED A RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS SINCE I OWNED THE CAR 6 YEARS AGO.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. IT WOULD GO OFF FOR A WHILE THEN REAPPEAR. IT APPEARS TO BE A HARNESS PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT WITH THIS CAR.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES. TOYOTA REPLACED THE HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SHORTLY THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I HAD RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE BUT TOYOTA KEPT THE NOTICE AND NOW WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERTHAT IS AN ISSUE. TOYOTA CLAIMS TH HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL COST TO FIX. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER B EN IN AN ACCIDENT.

CONCERNED AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT, OR WILL DEPLOY RANDOMLY BECAUSE IT IS FAULTY.

2006 SIENNA LE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING.

TAKATA RECALL I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MANY TIMES REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VAN. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS IN QUESTION. EVEN THOUGH A RECALL DOES NOT COME UP WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IN SAFERCAR.GOV, I AM TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT DOESN'T MEAN MY VAN WON'T BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN THE FUTURE. I NEED TO KNOW! MY FAMILY AND I ARE EXPECTED TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE VAN.TOYOTA REPS ARE PLAYING A GUESSING GAME WHEN THEY GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VAN. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY VAN IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I NEED SPECIFICS SUCH AS WHO MADE THE AIRBAG IN MY VAN, TOYOTA SAYS THEY CANNOT TELL ME THIS BECAUSE THEIR LAWYERS HAVE TOLD THEM NOT TO GIVE OUT THAT INFO. THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME...

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AFTER 145,000 MILES. SAME AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER ENTRIES SHOWN ON THIS WEBSITE. WILL BE CONTACTING TOYOTA DEALER.

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.

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.
