Osteoporosis and I read that this drug brings on or makes worse any osteoporosis condition mine is extremely sever and mine is sever. I have since gone to a nuerotologist and he put me on verapamil 80 mgs 2 x a day. I fractured my right knee in 15 places-I am in constant pain-I have to pay out money to get anywhere I need to go-groceries,bank all the continuing visits to my primary doctor, my orthopedic surgeon(because unless I do not replace my knee-I will be in this horrific-& pain that is my orthos opinion. I am all for it just to lessen the pain- I do not want to have take pills when it could be gone after my accidents- I receive in the mail yet another recall that specifily says my VIN number and says that besides something that gives electrical to the air bags- may cause air bags-not to deploy-I have no car,it was totalled, the police suspended my license and because of this I have to go through a bunch of stuff in order to get get my license back. I have called Toyota a lot of times-they do not care=I was what-I have no familyi have had 4 accidents-never had that many, I had a Toyota ceclica for 20 years and never had 1 recall and did have 1 accident. . And that is 20years prior to this one-that car was a super lemon,but no one gives a damn what I am going through and no one cares-the people I have talked to down there are rude and disrespective to mt. Hopefully I can find a lawyer which will do pro-bono. Thanks for the 15 fractures. The loss of my license,having to -thanks for the misery you have brought me and the rude and crappy behavior of your collegues. I have nothing left-no license,no car-have to pay someone to the doctors,food,had to my championchip yorkie up because I could not care for her=u try that with 15 fractures in ur knee-not to mention what the nuerologist about my hands.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2013

How can I get Toyota to pay for the full amount of the spiral cable repair I had to make in November 2013, just prior to the recall? this was an expensive repair, and they have refused to fully reimburse the repair cost needed so I could drive a safe vehicle. I think they are refusing to do it because I didn't use the dealership--although I sent them the certified garage statement they requested as well as submitting the repair receipt, etc. I didn't use the dealership because they wanted much more to repair it and had a 4 week wait to get the parts and repair scheduled.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2013

The airbag warning light in my 2006 rav 4 has activated. This car has never been in a crash. The repair is $500-$600 and can only be performed by a Toyota dealer--a monopoly. This is a safety issue and has been a problem with several of the Toyota vehicles manufactured during this time period. I am afraid to drive this car until I can afford the fix. On a teacher's salary, this has impeded my ability to get to my job safely. The car has low mileage and should not be defective or putting lives at risk. I beg you to review this issue in the interest of public safety.
