- West Covina, CA, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for a rear brake replacement. After the mechanic replaced both of the rear brakes and front outer tie rod, the mechanic remained outside of the vehicle but leaned in and depressed on the brake pedal when both of the driver and passenger curtain air bags inadvertently deployed. The driver-side curtain air bag deployment caused bruising to the mechanic's back. However, no medical attention was received. The driver-side seat belt was inoperable after the air bags deployed but was replaced by the independent mechanic. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that they inspected the air bags on 10/27/2014. However, no repair was performed at the time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the dealer had already resolved the air bags recall prior to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

I was driving on a dirt road around 25-30 mph when my drivers side curtain shield airbag (csa) deployed unexpectedly. Previous to deploying, the seatbelt had suddenly locked into place. I leaned back to get the seatbelt to release, and as I tried to lean forward to see if it had, the airbag suddenly and unexpectedly deployed. I stopped the vehicle and looked around the car for damage from a collision and observed none. I also did not feel or sense a collision happening. I believed this issue may be related to a Toyota airbag recall, prompting me to contact them. Toyota did an inspection and read the electronic data recorder for the vehicle. Upon completion they told me that the edr had sensed a collision on the left rear of the vehicle, causing the airbag to deploy. I have a copy of the edr, though no means to read it or verify if this is correct. Based on the information about the collision, I pursued a claim with my comprehensive insurance. The insurance company found no damage to my vehicle and cited a faulty sensor and cited Toyota csa and seatbelt recall of 2007 Rav4S. Toyota insists that my vehicle is not involved in the recall and that this issue is unrelated. I would like to know if that is true, as my insurance is denying the claim and citing the recall as the reason. I did have a Toyota dealer replace the seatbelt, as after the airbag deployed it was no longer functional. I also still have the airbag, just in case it needs to be inspected or something.

While getting my emergency brake repaired because it did not appear to be holding properly at Firestone the technician pulled the emergency brake lever and the drivers side air bag deployed. After taking SUV to Toyota dealership they stated that the individual pulled the handle up to far causing a short in the air bag module deploying the air bag while individual was in the drivers seat. I consider this to be a defect in the manufacturing process but Toyota claims they have no recalls for this problem and want me to pay $2,780 for the repair. The vbehicle was stationary when this occurred.

Left front input seal has leaked fluid twice now. First time was 9/25/2012 @ 56,516 miles. Second time was on 1/12/2016 @ 101,753 miles. My independent auto repair service, coram precision auto of coram, NY went to Toyota to get the seal needed to fix the leak both times and asked Toyota parts counter if they knew of a recall and they said no. Then they asked why they had so many seals in stock if there had been no recalls. I am on this website and don't see any recalls either but I wonder if any complaints have been filed. Note: I have several recalls for my Toyota Rav4 for gas pedal and now for the 'rear differential coupling' which extends my warrantee until 2017 from Toyota and from NHTSA for my drivers side air bag in 2014 but can't find anything on this wed site. Please follow up with me on the seal problem and if the airbag needs to be replaced. Toyota told me 'no" but I don't trust them. Thanks, wpziems 02/01/2016.

Takata recall. The driver's side ammonium nitrate inflator is now suspect according to Toyota. A replacement part will not be in the pipeline for quite a while at best. Toyota refuses to remove the explosive because it's a "safety item." It defies common sense. I want it disabled until they can fix it. What kind of moron would drive around with a loaded gun aimed at this head" are you guys listening"

Occupant classification system malfunction (ECU). Toyota is refusing to cover the repair since the vehicle is no longer under warranty. Was advised at the dealership (kendall Toyota) that this malfunction will prevent the passenger airbag from deployment in event of an accident. The system malfunction is not specifically a wear N tear item and I firmly believe it should be covered by Toyota. Rav 4 has had multiple recalls but none for this problem.

When driving with air bags light on is completely unsafe and danger to everyone including driver. Toyota send out interim recall letters to owners of certain models and years including Rav4 2006 to Rav4 and asked to contact local Toyota dealer immediately in case of if air bag light illuminate or illuminated already. Meanwhile Toyota is making arrangement for remedy part ( D squib clock spiral cable ) for those qualified models to fix the airbag light. After I received a same interim notice, the air bag light came on. I called Toyota co-operate office about the my recall notice I received by mail and told that suddenly my air bag light came on. Toyota ask me to take my car to the local Toyota dealer for diagnose which I did and their diagnose result came up with B1801 error ( D squib clock spring spiral cable faulty) which they updated to Toyota database and told me to wait till remedy is available for this fix. I called Toyota co operate office again and they told me to wait till the part is available. It has been now 7 months and I haven't received any further notice nor any remedy yet. I called Toyota few times and finally they give me a wearied answer that my car is not on defective batch anymore and does not qualify for this airbag recall. My car VIN #, year, model everything showing clearly based on interim recall letter that is in that defective recall qualification group but some how Toyota is now playing game and telling me different story. They don't have any answer of who I do have the same faulty spiral cable defect like same exact others defective batch has. Toyota is the one who send out interim notices to those qualified recall batch based on their VIN# and now after 8 months, they are denied that my car doesn't qualify for this recall fix".?" I like to have this investigate by NHTSA's before some one life gets at risk.
