I was driving about 25 mph on the small street. The road curved a little in one place and two right wheels of my car went to the shoulder which was the same level as the road but a little bumpy or graveled. It took me a couple seconds to be back on the road but at the moment I was there the right side curtain airbag suddenly deployed. I was very scared and stopped and checked the car and the wheels ' there was nothing at all except two right wheels were dusty. I believe that it was a malfunction of a sensor because there was no impact and there were no any big rocks or pot holes on the road. But Toyota refused to repair airbags and interior; they found a scratch on the wheel and claimed the wheel was bent. It was not true as it was found during repair in body shop. The repair cost was all for airbags / sensors and roof lining with just a fraction for balancing the wheel to be sure it was indeed ok. It was a normal use of the car, no any impact, but faulty sensor.

Date: 12/19/2010 from: [xxx] re: 2010 Toyota rav 4 lease/ air bag safety concern I recently leased a Rav4 from your dealership. I traded a 2007 pruis and have owned numerous Toyota. My reason for leasing the rav 4 was to make life easier and safer for my spouse who is undergoing cancer treatment. I made this fact known to my salesman sonny rothwell and brought her with me to test her getting in and out of the vehicle and general comfort. The vehicle was not running during this test. I drove the vehicle approximately 5000 miles without paying attention to the dash warning light regarding air bag activation. When I finally checked with your service department, they stated that the air bag light indicates that the air bag is not in active mode when off and that this occurs when there is not enough weight in the passenger seat. I asked the amount needed to activate the on position and they did not know. My wife is 5 1 and weighs 86 pounds and I would never have leased this vehicle if I would have known she would not have the benefit of air bag safety. Air bags saved my wife and mother in-law several years ago. I called Toyota corporate 800 331-4331 and explained my problem. They stated that it requires 90lbs of weight to activate air bag and that this could not be adjusted. Ref# 1012030063 I later called service manager david newton and he confirmed the 90 lb weight requirement. He suggested I bring the car in. Prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealer, I tested the front seat by having my wife sit in the seat with a 16 lb bowling ball on her lap. The air bag light was still showing off. I also read my owners manual and found no indication of any weight requirement for air bag activation. There were references to children and luggage in passenger seat. I brought the car into your deal parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
