Warning Light On problems of the 2008 Toyota RAV4

I had just gotten in my vehicle. I went to go start it and the airbags deployed for no reason!!! there is no damage to the vehicle. No reason as to why the airbags should of deployed sitting in my driveway stationary. I had no warning lights on at all.

Airbag warning light has come on and scan shows that it is a "spiral cable" that needs to be replaced. Unknown to me was that airbag wouldn't deploy while this light is on. Car hasn't been in any accident and this appears to be low mileage to have this event. This is a major safety issue and due to high frequency of this event being reported. . . It should be a recall!.

Airbag warning light was on. We received notice that our vehicle was included in a general Rav4 / highlander recall for side airbag sensor issues. After receiving free dealership service for the recall, the warning light was still on. We called the service dept. And were told that it was just a glitch and they would reset it at our next scheduled service (oil change). 4 months later, at the oil change, we were told the airbag warning light related to a spiral cable airbag sensor (b1801 open in squib d) which needed to be replaced; also told this failure was completely unrelated to the original recall for side airbag issues. After complaining to the dealer, they offered to pay for the part (approx. $275. 00) and we would be responsible for the labor charge ($109. 00) the service and dealership managers never acknowledged that there was a known issue although many car forums are rife with complaints on this issue. Although the problem was resolved with little cost to me, I am complaining to add to the database so that others will know they are at risk and in the hope that enough complaints will cause Toyota to address the issue in public.

I received a safety recall notice in the mail about my warning light for my air bag. The warning light for my airbag is always on, and it can't turn off. I went twice to my dealer (interstate Toyota) on October 8th 2011 and October 12th 2011 to get the light fixed, but they couldn't help me.
