• Recall 49996 [USA]: This may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash.
  On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. In this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash.
  dealers will replace the specific srs air bag. The recall began on april 6, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371, scion at 1-866-548-1851, or lexus at 1-800-255-3987.

• Recall R/2015/095 [UK]: Driver side airbag may rupture

• Recall R/2014/048 [UK]: Drivers airbag may not function
  The steering column assembly in affected vehicles contains electrical connections to the driver's air bag module housed in a spiral cable assembly which includes a flexible flat cable (ffc). Due to the shape and location of the ffc's retainer the ffc could contact a small point of the retainer and become damaged when the steering wheel is turned. In ffc's with seven channel circuits this damage could occur to a circuit on the ffc that provides connectivity to the driver's air bag module. If connectivity is lost the air bag warning light will illuminate. In addition the driver's air bag could become deactivated causing it not to deploy in the event of a crash. This could increase the risk of injury to the driver.
  replace spiral cables with new ones

• Recall R/2012/085 [UK]: Rear suspension arm may separate
  If the rear suspension arm is adjusted as part of a wheel alignment or other repairs whilst in service it is possible that backlash can occur. This can allow corrosion to develop and cause the threads to deteriorate. Ultimately this could result in failure of the arm with a resultant loss of control of the vehicle.
  recall all affected vehicles to check the torque on the arm. Where necessary the arm will be replaced.

• Recall 2015198 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver's (frontal) airbag inflator has a potential for intrusion of moisture over time due to insufficient air sealing. This could result in the inflator rupturing during a deployment, and/or an abnormal deployment of the driver's (frontal) airbag during a crash (where deployment is warranted), which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the driver's (frontal) air bag inflator with an updated part.

When driving at or under the speed limit on some turns my cars slip indicator goes off without any apparent issues and it will start beeping and sometimes it even breaks on it's own and jerks the car. The slip indicator light has turned one while driving under 30 mph in a dry and paved road. The beeping and jerking has happened on the freeway

None of my brake lights are working i have tried replacing them with new bulbs and they still don't work i even checked to see if it need a new fuse and all the fuses look good. I'm starting to feel like the vehicle has a electrical problem that's causing the lights not to work.

While driving the vsc light and alarm flash and sound and the vehicle applies the brakes causing vehicle to veer into other lane

Excessive engine oil consumption, 1/2 quart every 2 weeks. This has been an ongoing problem with my vehicle for at least the last 3 years.

Air bag recall: i have been getting recall notices for years. I have notified toyota many times that i no longer own this vehicle!!! It was traded in to toyota of lewisville tx in october 25, 2014. This is bordering on harrassment! It is also a waste of money. I recently recieved a notice via fedex!! Please update your records. Thank you.

My check engine light has been on for approximately 50,000 of the 255,000 miles on my rav4. It has been on it seems mostly because of oxygen sensors and related emissions "issues" and this has cost me thousands over the years in diagnostics, troubleshooting, and masking other problems that really were occurring. The check engine light is on so much that it's hard to tell when there really is a problem. Recently my check engine light was on for about 9 months. The mechanic codes revealed that it was running too "rich." i put it on "non-operable" for registration purposes while i again tried to figure out why. One day (on a temporary moving permit) i went to get gasoline and filled the tank halfway. A few miles later the check engine light went off, for no apparent reason. I went to get a smog check, and when i asked about the fail policy at the station, the attendant said, "these toyotas always pass the emissions, as long as the check engine light isn't on." he was right, and my rav4 passed with perfect emissions compliance. In the past i have replaced my catalytic converter, all the oxygen sensors, and eventually the entire exhaust manifold in order to get the check engine light to go off and pass a ca smog check. Some years ago my check engine light was on for about a year and a half. It was leaking oil, and my mechanic said just to make sure it had enough oil in it until i could afford to fix the "leaky gaskets." but the problem was really a faulty oil pump, and the engine seized. I had a rebuilt engine put in, and the check engine light went off. The toyota ran fine for 6 months. Then the check engine light came on again. In all of this, toyota customer service accepts no fault. They say i should complain to nhtsa, and they don't have any recalls. I haven't had such an unreliable car since my 1984 chevy chevette. My next car won't be a toyota.
