We have classified the 85 complaints from 2007 Toyota RAV4 about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
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 $2,780.00 for the repair. the vbehicle was stationary when this occurred.

My vehicle has the passenger air bag off and do not detect when the passenger is sit and buckled up the passenger weight it's over 100 pounds, i took my vehicle to a independent repair shop for a code to be read and the only code it shows it's b1550 (occupant classification system ) the vehicle has never been involved into an accident. i took it to the toyota dealer located at 4413 mchenry avenue in modesto, ca the dealer receptionist said that they can't take of it, because there's no recall in record about this issue, but it is a manufacture defect that affects the safety of vehicle owner
Vehicle was being operated at low speed (15-20 mph) on residential street approaching a stop sign. under braking, driver's and passenger's side curtain airbags deployed and driver's seat belt tensioner fired.
I had a front end crash when driving 60-65 mph on i-94 on feb 4 2016, skidded on ice near alexandria mn, and collided near fence. the airbag did not deploy. no injuries. state patrol report filed-case #716900207. country insurance claim-205-006-8259. it was declared a total loss. toyota is not giving me a proper response, just gave their case #:case #1602060045.
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?
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.

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. *tr
