WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STATE HIGHWAY SCRT 31 AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR ANY OTHER FACTOR THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS DEPOLOYMENT. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE BAG CAUSED RINGING IN THE DRIVER'S EAR AND POTENTIAL EAR DRUM DAMAGE. DOCTOR'S EXAM IS SCHEDULED. UPDATED 05/16/17*LJ UPDATED 08/09/2017*JS

2010 RAV4 WITH ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT HAS HAD TWO RECALLS FOR REAR SUSPENSION. THE SECOND ONE (G0V NHTSA 16V-596) HAS YET TO BE PERFORMED AS THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL IN MY OPINION AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH MORE CONCERN. I AM HAVING ISSUES WHERE THE RIDE QUALITY HAS DIMINISHED SINCE THE FIRST RECALL WAS PERFORMED. ALSO, I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND AM WANTING THE RECALL PERFORMED QUICKLY IN AN EFFORT TO NOT ACCELERATE TIRE WEAR FROM BAD ALIGNMENT. I ALSO AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND LIMIT MY WIFE AS TO HOW FAR AND FAST SHE CAN DRIVE IT. IT IS HER PRIMARY CAR.

BOTH REAR STABILIZER BAR CONNECTOR LINKS SNAPPED OFF TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF EACH LINK RIGHT ABOVE THE THREADED PORTION INDICATING THAT IS A WEAK AREA. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO RUSTING, THE LINKS JUST SNAPPED OFF IN THE SAME LOCATION. I WORKED FOR ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN THE SAME DEALER GROUP AS A SERVICE MANAGER AND THE STAFF THERE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT PROBLEM AND THEY HAD REPLACED AT LEAST 55 PAIR OF THESE LINKS. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REQUEST A GOODWILL REPAIR AUTHORIZATION AND THE FIRST QUESTION THEY ASKED ME WAS IF I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SAID NO BECAUSE AS A FORMER TECHNICIAN, I DO ALL MY OWN VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE OF THAT. THIS INVOLVES A KNOWN PRODUCT PROBLEM THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THRU WHAT ALL MANUFACTURERS CALL "HIDDEN WARRANTY" IF I HAD ALLOWED THE DEALER TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DISCRIMINATORY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF MORE IMPORTANTLY BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING THE SUSPENSION AND VEHICLE HANDLING. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM LAST FALL WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTING MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAR AND HANDLED SLOPPY IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. YOU HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF OTHER REPORTS AS WELL ON THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM.
