Date: 12/19/2010 from: dan insdorf/863-258-6584 2010 Toyota rav 4 lease/ air bag safety concern I recently leased a Rav4 from your dealership. I traded a 2007 pruis and have owned numerous Toyotas. My reason for leasing the rav 4 was to make life easier and safer for my spouse who is undergoing cancer treatment. I made this fact known to my salesman sonny rothwell and brought her with me to test her getting in and out of the vehicle and general comfort. The vehicle was not running during this test. I drove the vehicle approximately 5000 miles without paying attention to the dash warning light regarding air bag activation. When I finally checked with your service department, they stated that the air bag light indicates that the air bag is not in active mode when “off� and that this occurs when there is not enough weight in the passenger seat. I asked the amount needed to activate the “on� position and they did not know. My wife is 5’ 1� and weighs 86 pounds and I would never have leased this vehicle if I would have known she would not have the benefit of air bag safety. Air bags saved my wife and mother in-law several years ago. I called Toyota corporate 800 331-4331 and explained my problem. They stated that it requires 90lbs of weight to activate air bag and that this could not be adjusted. Ref# 1012030063 I later called service manager david newton and he confirmed the 90 lb weight requirement. He suggested I bring the car in. Prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealer, I tested the front seat by having my wife sit in the seat with a 16 lb bowling ball on her lap. The air bag light was still showing off. I also read my owners manual and found no indication of any weight requirement for air bag activation. There were references to children and luggage in passenger seat. I brought the car into your deal.
