!. Front passenger air bag not activated when an adult (my wife) weighing 90 pounds is seated in front passenger seat. 2. No inside release for rear hatch.
Front passenger air bag system does not function when my wife is seated in the front passenger seat. She weighs about 90 pounds. Toyota 2006 Rav4 with side and curtain bags.
Toyota Rav4, 2006 front passenger air bag is off when my wife sits in that position. She weighs about 85 pounds. In testing other vehicle makes, we found in about ten of 12 other makes, the front passenger air bag system turns on. Information provided by dealer has been varied and without detail. No disclaimer is provided to the buyer about this situation,similar to that about child seats. I do not understand why the consumer is not notified of the situation since we bought the vehicle under the assumption that the passenger would enjoy the added protection of all the included air bags. Is it up to the consumer to go to the trouble of searching out (as we did) the vehicle which will provide the protection advertised? what are the regulations with this system?.
I have a 2002 Toyota rav 4. I have taken my car to the dealer for the changes of oil and filter. Twice they suggested a wynns system engine cleaning which we paid for. The last one was done on April 2005. Last October 7, 2005 I was driving my car on the expressway and all of a sudden the oil light lit up and the car stopped. The car was towed from the highway to our house and the next day was towed to the dealer adriel Toyota in rio grande, puerto rico. About two hours later they called me and stated that the motor stalled and the warranty was not going to pay since I had not taken the car to them for the last oil change. I reminded them that just nine months earlier a wynns motor engine cleaning had be done by them and that it was impossible for the motor of the car to have sludge if they had done the job correctly. The Toyota company of puerto rico called to tell me the same thing. I made a complaint at the consumers affairs in puerto , I am waiting for a decision. Today I showed the pictures to an automotive expert who states that the motor have not had any oil changes and the worst was that there was no way that the engine had be cleaned. The dealers states that they have not had any motor sludging on any rav 4 in puerto rico but consumer report states that Toyota has this problem most commonly with camry's . Today I found out that rav 4 have the same engine camry's have. Am I supposed to be punished for whatever problem Toyotas engines have?.
