2013 Toyota Venza Airbags Problems

Your 2013 Toyota Venza was hit on the driver's side at 20 mph by another vehicle, but the airbags did not deploy. You suffered serious injuries including head trauma, bruising on your left arm, lower back, and chest, along with internal bleeding that required hospitalization. The vehicle was totaled in the accident. Airbag deployment depends on the airbag system's sensors and electrical components working properly during impact.

Your airbag warning light turned on and a diagnostic scan revealed error code B1698. You tried swapping the left and right door sensors and disassembled the center console and door panels, but couldn't fix the problem. You've been driving without a functioning airbag system. The issue likely involves a faulty door sensor or wiring that will need professional diagnosis and repair.

Your SRS airbag system warning light came on while driving on the highway at 50 mph. When your mechanic ran a diagnostic scan, the computer showed this was the second time the light had activated (the first occurrence was in August 2014). The underlying cause of the warning needs to be diagnosed at the dealership to determine if there's an actual airbag system fault.

You may hear a creaking or clicking noise from the turn signal stalk when you use your turn signals and turn the steering wheel. This noise comes from the clock spring, a critical airbag component, and can lead to clock spring failure over time, which triggers the airbag warning light on your dashboard. Fixing this typically requires replacing the clock spring assembly.

Your air bag warning light stays on when you start the vehicle, and the passenger seat belt warning light remains illuminated even when someone is sitting there. Both the driver and passenger side air bag and seat belt warning lights have recently started staying on continuously. This could indicate a problem with your air bag system or seat belt sensors that needs professional diagnosis.

Your 2013 Toyota Venza has an airbag warning light that turns on when you start the vehicle. Toyota issued a recall (Campaign 21V257000) to fix this problem, but the required parts weren't available when you tried to get the repair done. Both the dealer and manufacturer confirmed the parts are still unavailable, and you feel the delay has gone on too long.

You own a 2013 Toyota Venza and received a recall notice for the airbags (campaign 21V257000), but the replacement parts aren't available yet. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to make these parts available for the recall repair. Your dealer and Toyota are aware of the delay, and you haven't experienced any airbag failure so far. The repair will likely involve replacing the affected airbag components once parts become available.
