general problems of the 2012 Toyota RAV4

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 65 mph, the air bags deployed without warning or impact. The driver sustained burns to the neck, skeletal injuries, and bruises. The passenger sustained skeletal injuries, cuts, bruises, and throat issues. Medical attention was provided to both occupants. A police report was filed. There was no reported fire or crash. The vehicle was towed to a tow plaza. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.  the manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 132,000.

On june10th. I had a majoir accident in which both my wife & myself suffered fractured sternums & fractured ribs. What happened was that I pulled into a lot in princeton, n. J. & after stopping to set my gps, I just tapped the accelerator & the car shot forward, as if shot out of a cannon. While stopped I put the car in reverse & the car shot backwards in the same manner, thereby striking a wall. Now I went forward like a rocket, with no time to hit the brake, thereby going headfirst into a parked construction truck.

According to NHTSA campaingn number, my 2012 Rav4 should have been recalled in 2013 . I was not notified then or never. I am afraid to drive my vehicle and can't seem to get any answers about my airbag. All I want to know is what kind of airbag I have and if it's made by takada , I want it changed.

I was travelling northbound on I-85 in the city of atlanta at around 55 miles per hour. A car from the hov lane abruptly changed lanes at high speed and hit me on the drivers side. This was a big impact and due to this my car swerved to the right lane and hit another moving truck on its drivers side. The car has been totaled by my insurance company. My concern is that, due to the nature of the accident and the impact the air bags of the car should have deployed and they didn't. This I think is a lapse in the safety of the car and is a matter of life and death. The accident took place on 10/17/2015 around 7:30 am on I-85n in the city of atlanta. I have attached the police report for reference. Please investigate the same.

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Rav4. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v284000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available and only stated that they had received a limited supply of parts. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contacts vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact had also experienced a failure in which the rear passenger side tire constantly had to be refilled with air. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a tire repair shop for inspection and repair but the details were unknown. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Driving on road, headed towards highway. Light was green and I continued to forward to get onto highway. A driver a couple cars ahead stopped suddenly before entering onramp to highway and I slammed into the back end of the truck in front of me. The truck was jacked up some and I hit a steel bumper, with a trailer hitch. My car was not drivable, front right side received most of the damage, but my car was determined totaled as it had more than $14,000 damage. The engine wasn't damaged, the windshield fluid was still in the container, the battery wasn't damaged, yet the car was totaled. The driver of the other car took off after I hit him. In the question above, I checked the affected parts as the airbags, because that's where my concern is. The airbags didn't deploy and I received whiplash with a torn ligament in my neck. I have additional injuries on my knee, as my knee slammed into something, steering wheel, bottom of dashboard or something. All are considered minor injuries, as I walked away. But I'm still currently in pain, with regular headaches. Don't understand why there could be so much damage on my car to total it and yet the airbags didn't inflate. The collision shop was unsure as well.

While attempting to roll the vehicle forward to clear a doorway, the vehicle jumped forward about 6 feet. At that time I pulled my foot off the gas and pushed the brake pedal to the floor. The vehicle stopped momentarily, then began to accelerate picking up speed rapidly as evidenced by the revving of the engine. I continued to pump the brake since holding it to the floor was doing nothing. By this time I had gone through a chain link fence, through a ditch over a curb and continued to pick up speed to pass through a concrete block wall and into the back of a parked r. ,the vehicle impaling itself on the steel pipes of a motorcycle carrier attached to the back of the r. V. The vehicle could not move any further but the engine was still revving. Needless to say the Rav4 was totaled and amazingly I suffered only minor bumps and bruises. At no time did any of the air bags deploy.

I read in the news two days ago that my Toyota Rav4 purchased 9/7/12 was put on recall from the Toyota company on Jan. 16, 2013 for an airbag problem. No one has contacted me on this matter. I have attempted to contact Toyota in reference to this problem but no one has returned an answer. Please advise [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
