Impact on right front end at 60 mph and air bags did not deploy.
Side curtain airbags spontaneously deployed while vehicle was being backed out of a mechanic's garage after routine brake maintenance was performed. There was no impact prior to the deployment. Thankfully no one was injured, but it would have been a different story if my wife and kids were in the car and driving while this occurred. As of this writing, I have opened a case with Toyota (corporate) as insurance has appraised the damage at over $11,000 making this a total loss. I have yet to hear anything from Toyota regarding the claim.
December 8, 2017, in 2010 Rav4, about 27 mph heading forward, hit head-on, (city street) 12th st. Nw, albuquerque. Other driver dui (blew 2. 6 about 1 hr later), wrong-way in my lane, drove silverado, seemed to speed up upon impact, attempted to keep going but silverado hooked into braked rav. My car was pushed backward about 40 ft. , according to police officers. Shocking sound and feeling upon impact. My air bag deployed, but did not deflate--instead, it exploded. Have had breathing problems since, exacerbation of asthma, burning feeling in ears, other symptoms. I did not know that the air bag was supposed to deflate. Adjuster agrees it exploded, but does not know if he has a photo of the exploded air bag. He will look through his photos.
While driving down the state highway scrt 31 at the posted speed limit, the driver side curtain air bag deployed. There was no collision or any other factor that would have caused this depoloyment. The deployment of the bag caused ringing in the driver's ear and potential ear drum damage. Doctor's exam is scheduled.

I was involved in an accident when my Rav4 pulled to over the right side of the road causing the vehicle to strike a tree causing 7 broken ribs and it totaled my car . I saw a recall that was issued in September that the rear tire rods can cause you to lose control causing a crash recently and I know that was the reason for this crash I drive this road frequently and have never had an issue until August 11th my both arms were injured and my chest and shoulder had scrapes and cuts to which I blame on the manufacturer, I am still recovering from my injury and also believe the airbag didn't deploy in time because out of the 7 broken ribs my sternum bone was broken from the steering wheel!!.
Takata recall, my rear swerved as I moved right to avoid a head on collision, my chest hit the steering wheel so hard that I broke 6 ribs including my sternum because the airbags didn't deploy until after the impact , I also saw another recall that was announced 2 or 3 days after my accident which resulted in a total loss which was the rear suspension needed to be replaced because it could cause an accident I reported this to NHTSA and was given a reference number10937800, please keep me updated this is horrible that these people knowingly put faulty parts on a vehicle, I am still afraid to drive I felt my car shaking and blamed it on the roads, the wind, anything because I didn't want to believe someone would sell a vehicle knowing it was not safe.
Wind shield wipers dont work, and my passengers seatbelt light turns on and off when no one is seating in ' the seat. The car has "turned off while driving. Took it to the mechanic they changed the oil.
Was at a standstill when I was hit by a 1999 Dodge neon on right front side. . . The neon shred the front of my car from passenger side to driver side, traveling deeper into the front end of the car as it went across my car from right front to left front. The airbag did open, however, between 8 and 9 o'clock on the steering wheel the bag caught fire and when up in flames. The right side of the bag was damaged by fire and my right hand was burned. When I saw the car at the collision shop the airbag had been removed.
