2023 Toyota Rav4 Airbags Problems

Your car's front passenger airbag system failed to detect that someone was sitting in the passenger seat, and the airbag was automatically disabled. This means the airbag won't deploy if there's a crash with a passenger on that side. You found that this matches a known recall, but your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in it. The issue appeared at 57,500 miles and hasn't been diagnosed or repaired yet.

Your car was involved in a serious side-impact accident where it was hit on the front passenger side, then struck a fire hydrant and pole. The airbags failed to deploy during the collision, and your head made contact with the steering wheel.

While parking, your car suddenly surged forward and accelerated even though you had your foot on the brake pedal. The vehicle crashed into a parked car nearby, and you had to shift into Park to stop it. Your airbags deployed from the impact, but your Toyota's airbag warning system and crash warning system did not activate beforehand.

Your RAV4 was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle, but your airbags did not deploy even though the other vehicle's airbags activated. There was no airbag warning light before the crash, and the body shop manager noted this was unusual for the extent of front-end damage involved. Toyota has your vehicle's data recorder for investigation, and the airbag system may need diagnostic testing or replacement.
