'99 Solara SE V6 Airbag Problems

[Kristen]

I was wondering if anyone else has had any airbags replaced because of the airbag light coming on? My problems started at just under 60,000 miles with the light blinking in a slow steady pace. The dealer ended up replacing my passenger door airbag. Now 5 months later I have the same problem again. They tell me it's a problem with the passenger front airbag now, but the part is on back-order. Both times Toyota has good-willed the parts and labor for replacement. I had to pay the diagnostic charges. It sounds kind of fishy that 2 airbags would have to be replaced. I did a VIN check and no serious accidents or flood damage were reported.

i had my airbag light come up, cuz my vin report had flood salvage, so i just removed the airbag light in the dash. not sure if my airbags had to be replaced or not.

10 years down the road, do you expect the airbags components (such as the explosive) still work? It's good that they get replaced now.
