Owner Complaints (4)
Your airbag warning light came on, and a dealer diagnosed that the clockspring harness (the part that connects your steering wheel to the airbag system) needed replacement. An independent mechanic confirmed the repair should be covered, but neither the dealer nor Toyota completed the fix. Until this is repaired, your airbags may not deploy properly in a crash.
