2007 Toyota RAV4 airbags problems

Filed Sep 8, 2025 · Airbags · AZ

Other people keep using my Bluetooth from my Toyota RAV4 2007. I don't even use it anymore. I found out because my android vehicle app keeps activating. Also, I live in a apartment complex, and notice when I look out my window, people walk by and slow down and stop right in front of my car and start messing with their phone. It appears they are hacking into the Bluetooth. I've also had much financial theft from my bank account.. including I paid for my auto insurance months ago, now I go on the AZ MDV and it's saying that my car is not insured! I'm a domestic violence victim..Its causing safety issues for me..I'm really upset. Also, your website is saying it's September 8, 2025. My phone is saying it's September 7th 2025. I don't know what to do!?!? Someone is causing me a lot of mental anquish. I know I have Recalls on this car, it says I have nun on the Toyota site yet in other places it says I have Recalls. I just feel extremely unsafe and angry that Toyota never sends me anything about my car.

And to make matters worse, I've had my vehicle plates stolen 3 separate times including my cell phone number ( had to change it) and my driver license number was changed.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Rav4. The contact stated that the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for a rear brake replacement. After the mechanic replaced both of the rear brakes and front outer tie rod, the mechanic remained outside of the vehicle but leaned in and depressed on the brake pedal when both of the driver and passenger curtain air bags inadvertently deployed. The driver-side curtain air bag deployment caused bruising to the mechanic's back. However, no medical attention was received. The driver-side seat belt was inoperable after the air bags deployed but was replaced by the independent mechanic. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that they inspected the air bags on 10/27/2014. However, no repair was performed at the time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the dealer had already resolved the air bags recall prior to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

I was driving on a dirt road around 25-30 MPH when my drivers side curtain shield airbag (csa) deployed unexpectedly. Previous to deploying, the seatbelt had suddenly locked into place. I leaned back to get the seatbelt to release, and as I tried to lean forward to see if it had, the airbag suddenly and unexpectedly deployed. I stopped the vehicle and looked around the car for damage from a collision and observed none. I also did not feel or sense a collision happening. I believed this issue may be related to a toyota airbag recall, prompting me to contact them. Toyota did an inspection and read the electronic data recorder for the vehicle. Upon completion they told me that the edr had sensed a collision on the left rear of the vehicle, causing the airbag to deploy. I have a copy of the edr, though no means to read it or verify if this is correct. Based on the information about the collision, I pursued a claim with my comprehensive insurance. The insurance company found no damage to my vehicle and cited a faulty sensor and cited toyotas csa and seatbelt recall of 2007 rav4s. Toyota insists that my vehicle is not involved in the recall and that this issue is unrelated. I would like to know if that is true, as my insurance is denying the claim and citing the recall as the reason. I did have a toyota dealer replace the seatbelt, as after the airbag deployed it was no longer functional. I also still have the airbag, just in case it needs to be inspected or something.

While getting my emergency brake repaired because it did not appear to be holding properly at firestone the technician pulled the emergency brake lever and the drivers side air bag deployed. After taking SUV to toyota dealership they stated that the individual pulled the handle up to far causing a short in the air bag module deploying the air bag while individual was in the drivers seat. I consider this to be a defect in the manufacturing process but toyota claims they have no recalls for this problem and want me to pay $2,780.00 for the repair. The vbehicle was stationary when this occurred.
