1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2026

I was in a car accident and the side and steering airbags deployed. While the main steering airbag deflated successfully following the accident, the driver's side door side airbag never deflated. Once I was trying to get out of the car and had the door open, this meant it was much harder and took longer to get out as I had to slide out from underneath it. Because I wasn't able to get out quickly, I remained in a car in direct line of traffic with my driver's side door where it would have been hit first putting me in more danger.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2020

My sister accidentally ran into the back of a box truck on 7/2/2020 and the knee airbag in her Toyota 2014 Rav4 deployed. The airbag or cover caused major gashes in her leg and she is now in the hospital and will need to have skin grafts. There is a police report that is not yet ready. I am attaching pictures of the leg. I have never seen damage like this caused by airbag and wondering if there is some type of issues with knee airbags?.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2015

At approximately 8:20 am on Friday, January 16th, 2015, I was pulling into an empty parking spot in front of my apartment complex after dropping my 6 year-old at school. This was a routine as I do this every morning. However, as I was slowing the car down preparing to park (5-10 mph), the car suddenly accelerated (approximately 25-30 mph) and ran over the sidewalk, bushes and into the side of my apartment complex. Despite my attempts to brake, the car would not stop. In the process I ran through the side of my apartment complex wall and front gate, nearly going right through my front door and living room where my 6 month old and wife were playing. I had to place the car in park and turn the car off. That stopped the car. I then turned the car back on and reversed. Luckily no one was injured, but there was substantial damage done to the side of my apartment complex and my vehicle. Should be noted, that despite the impact, no airbags were deployed. At the moment, my insurance company has me at fault. I have filed with Toyota corporate and they are having a specialist investigate the vehicle. I do not feel safe in this car. And hope that this is investigated further. Had I not turned off my car, I would have surely gone through my front door and into my living room, potentially hurting my 6 month old and wife.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

On business and vacation, coming from la to atlanta. . . I was driving speed limit in far left lane, on interstate, in lagrange ,GA, a truck coming onto the interstate merging from far right loss control because she was speeding and the roads were slick from a light rain, she fishtailed from the far right , crossing the right lane and coming head on in opposite direction of traffic , hitting my rental vehicle. . Rav 4. Hit us head on. . . The airbags popped out everywhere, blocking escape exits, we thought the truck would catch afire, because of smoke smell, we tried to get out, all doors on the left of the vehicle would not open, although it wasn't hit in any way, had to crawl over seats and under airbags to escape on the right side of vehicle. Even the hatch back door at rear of vehicle would not open at all. We just barely escaped with our lives,and injuries, because if we didn't push the right side doors we would have been trapped.
