Side curtain airbags spontaneously deployed while vehicle was being backed out of a mechanic's garage after routine brake maintenance was performed. There was no impact prior to the deployment. Thankfully no one was injured, but it would have been a different story if my wife and kids were in the car and driving while this occurred. As of this writing, I have opened a case with toyota (corporate) as insurance has appraised the damage at over $11,000 making this a total loss. I have yet to hear anything from toyota regarding the claim.

December 8, 2017, in 2010 rav4, about 27 MPH heading forward, hit head-on, (city street) 12th st. Nw, albuquerque. Other driver dui (blew 2.6 about 1 hr later), wrong-way in my lane, drove silverado, seemed to speed up upon impact, attempted to keep going but silverado hooked into braked rav. My car was pushed backward about 40 ft., according to police officers. Shocking sound and feeling upon impact. My air bag deployed, but did not deflate--instead, it exploded. Have had breathing problems since, exacerbation of asthma, burning feeling in ears, other symptoms. I did not know that the air bag was supposed to deflate. Adjuster agrees it exploded, but does not know if he has a photo of the exploded air bag. He will look through his photos.

Takata recall, my rear swerved as I moved right to avoid a head on collision, my chest hit the steering wheel so hard that I broke 6 ribs including my sternum because the airbags didn't deploy until after the impact , I also saw another recall that was announced 2 or 3 days after my accident which resulted in a total loss which was the rear suspension needed to be replaced because it could cause an accident I reported this to the federal safety agency and was given a reference number10937800, please keep me updated this is horrible that these people knowingly put faulty parts on a vehicle, I am still afraid to drive I felt my car shaking and blamed it on the roads, the wind, anything because I didn't want to believe someone would sell a vehicle knowing it was not safe
