My rav4--vin: [xxx]--has a problem with the driver side airbag connector. when the warning light is on, it deactivates all of the airbags. it has become permanently on in recent days. it has become a safety hazard. when i start my vehicle and the automatic check up, the airbag light keeps lighting up. the airbag light on the dashboard would be on when stationary or in motion. it will keep on for the duration of the drive. the error code found by my independent mechanic is b1821. but my mechanic can not fix this problem. even replacing the front driver seat may not fix the problem, according to my mechanics. it was a design problem with the connector. i have asked toyota to fix this for free. toyota refused. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt
