general problems of the 2011 Toyota RAV4

I bought my Rav4 in may 2018, and it currently has just under 100,000 miles. My local mechanic says he "was kneeling on the driver's seat while reinstalling the center console after replacing the e-brake cable, when the side curtain air bags deployed!" he is frantic as this has never happened before, and his shop insurance won't cover the replacement costs. I know that insurance companies tend to "total" cars after air bags have deployed. Have you ever heard of such an incident with the recalled 2011 Rav4 air bags?.

Side curtain airbag failed to deploy in side-impact crash. Passenger suffered significant concussion and broken ribs.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while pulling into a parking space the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and accelerated forward crashing into a parked van. During the incident the airbags did not deploy. No injuries were reported and no police report was taken. The vehicle was later towed to a collision center and repaired. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact indicated that the same failure had occurred after the husband stopped at a red light. During the incident the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. No injuries were reported and no police report was taken. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 85,000.

My vehicle was traveling 35+ miles per hous when I inadvertently hit the vehicle in front of me who had slowed significantly to 25 mph or less. Both vehicles suffered severe damages as seen in photos.

Traveling 30 mph southbound on interstate. Car's engine self accelerated. Pumped brakes to slow down. Car continued to self-accelerate and braking was ineffectual and I ran into back of an 18 wheeler flat bed truck.

Takata airbag recall.

We received safety recall notices NHTSA 16v-096 and 15v-577 stating we will be notified when a remedy is available. I have contacted the local dealership and was told I would be contacted when the parts came in (they had to be ordered). I have contacted the Toyota customer service center who said that would check into the matter as too much time has elapsed in this repair process and they would also contact me. Neither the dealer or corporate has followed trough with the repair parts or repairs. I still cannot get the recalled repairs completed. I don't trust corporate Toyota or their dealership in their handling of these recalls. I demand that nhysa investigate and report to me their findings.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Rav4. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v096000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Rav4. The contact received a manufacturer recall notice concerning the air bags. The parts had not been supplied by the manufacturer to the dealer for over a year. The dealer kept stating that they would call, but the contact had not received a response. The contact was not experiencing a failure. The VIN and NHTSA campaign number were not available.

Our 2011 Rav4 was totaled in December 2013 when a bwm 5 series crashed into us while my wife was making a left turn. The impact was to the front tire on the passenger side and it was so severe, the entire wheel assembly was ripped out of the transmission and ended compressed against the passenger door; however incredibly none of the airbags deployed. My son, who was sitting in the front was unharmed, however my daughter in the back was sitting behind the driver seat and flew across the car smashing violently against the rear passenger door, loosing consciousness. As she woke up she vomited and per recommendation of the emergency crew on the scene, we took her to the er. I have written several Toyota groups about this incident and they have not even acknowledged my request. I am entitled for a 100% refund on the er expenses and my daughter should be placed on a watch list, as any repercussion out of these types of accidents show up years afterwards. When she develops a back or neck condition as a result of this vehicle not functioning as engineered and promoted, Toyota should cover all expenses related to their lack of quality; which is evident since the acceleration issues and the more recent (and precisely) massive air bag recall.

According to our insured, the insured had pulled into his driveway, and the vehicle had a sudden acceleration, causing the vehicle to run into the house, damaging the wall, the sliding door and the typhoon shutters.
