AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH APPEARED. THE SOURCE OF THIS WARNING HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE SPIRAL CABLE (CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN). THIS PART HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL BY TOYOTA FOR THIS MODEL BUT SPIRAL CABLES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL FOR NUMEROUS OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. I SUGGEST THIS PROBLEM MAY BE SYSTEMIC TO A LARGER GROUP OF TOYOTA PRODUCTS THAN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY TOYOTA AND SINCE IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY. *TR

AIRBAG ILLUMINATES AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE 2003. WHEN RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED TOOK CAR INTO TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIR. UPON ARRIVING AT HOME WITH VEHICLE NOTICED THAT INSIDE DOME CEILING LIGHTS BLINKS ON AND OFF UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. RETURNED TO TOYOTA ONE WEEK LATER TO REPORT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS RESETTING AND THAT THE BLINKING WOULD STOP. DURING THE NEXT THREE WEEKS THE BLINKING CONTINUED AND THE AIRBAG CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THREE HOURS LATER WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS A $700 ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDED REPAIR AND THAT WOULD FIX BOTH PROBLEMS. THE CAR DID NOT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY TAKEN INTO THE DEALER. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ADDITIONAL MONIES TO MAKE UP FOR FIXING THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE. TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEING THAT THEIR DEALERSHIPS HONOR THE REPAIR REQUESTS AND DO THEM CORRECTLY. *TR
