Water from your sunroof is leaking into the front door pillars where the airbags are located. The dealership quoted $6,000 to replace the sunroof but couldn't pinpoint where the water is actually entering. Since this model lacks drain lines or weep holes, water appears to be dripping directly onto or near the airbag components, which raises safety concerns. The fix likely involves replacing the sunroof seal or gasket and potentially addressing the airbag area to ensure it's properly dried and functional.

Your 2015 Venza was hit on the driver's side while stopped at a red light, but the airbags did not deploy during the crash. You were hospitalized for injuries, and your front passenger suffered shoulder injuries. You recently received a recall notice (NHTSA Campaign 21V257000) related to airbags that may be connected to this failure. The airbag system will need to be inspected and likely replaced to ensure it deploys properly in future impacts.

Your airbag warning light has come on twice — first on the driver's side and then on the passenger's side — due to frayed wires and faulty harnesses under the seats. The dealership replaced the wires and harness on the driver's side for $594, but the same problem appeared on the passenger's side three weeks later, requiring another $485 repair. The repair likely involves replacing the airbag wiring harness and connectors under the seat to restore proper electrical connection to the airbag system.

You received a recall notice for your airbag system, but the dealer couldn't complete the repair because the replacement part wasn't available. You've been waiting longer than seems reasonable for the part to come in stock. The dealer suggested contacting NHTSA about the delay since they haven't been able to reach the manufacturer to get an update on part availability.

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. YET, YESTERDAY I WAS INVOLVED IN A FAIRLY SERIOUS T-BONE COLLISION THAT AFFECTED THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY VENZA AND NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF. IT WAS A CITY STREET INTERSECTION AND BOTH VEHICLES WERE MOVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. NEITHER THE DRIVERS OR PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WOULD OPEN FROM THE IMPACT SO WHY NO AIR BAGS?...UPDATED 01/25/16 *BF
