MY MOTHER WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT CRASH (PASSENGERS SIDE) IN 2014. HER CAR WAS TOTALED AS THE OTHER CAR ESSENTIALLY SPEARED HERS CAVING IN THE RIGHT SIDE. SHE WAS WEARING SEATBELT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MOM SURVIVED WITH NO INTERNAL INJURIES. HOWEVER SHE WAS LEFT WITH SEVERE LACERATIONS TO THE SCALP, FACE AND HEMATOMA TO THE HEAD WHICH NEEDED SURGERY. I SUSPECT THIS INJURY WAS FROM THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING VIOLENTLY. MY HUSBAND WHO IS A RETIRED FIREFIGHTER/MEDIC INSPECTED THE CAR AFTER THE WRECK AND HE FEELS THE SAME. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT HER HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW OR WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE AIRBAG AND ALL OVER HER SEAT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN FLORIDA ON A HOT AUGUST DAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FL FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS.

TOYOTA SENT OUT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 13 MAY 2015 ABOUT THE FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR, UNTIL TODAY THE 25 JUNE 2015 THE REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY OWN SAFETY DRIVING THIS CAR AND/OR THE ROAD SAFETY. SINCE IT IS THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG THAT HAS PROBLEM, I HIGHLY DEMAND TO HAVE ALL THE 2004-2005 MODEL YEAR RAV4 COLLECTED BACK TO TOYOTA FOR A FULL CHECK UP OR REPLACEMENT.

IN EARLY OCTOBER 2015 AFTER RECEIVING FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL CALLED MY DEALER AUTONATION TOYOTA WINTER PARK, FL AND TRIED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE AIRBAG. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN THE PARTS AS OF YET BUT WOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY RECEIVED SAME. ON DECEMBER 5, 2015 CALLED THEM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS BUT WOULD CALL ME WHEN SAME WAS RECEIVED. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE RECEIVING THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON A RECALL. WHAT CAN I DO?

"TAKATA RECALL" I'M TRYING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED BUT, I'M HAVING TROUBLE HAVING A DEALERSHIP CALL ME BACK AFTER LEAVING MESSAGES.

TOYOTA'S LETTER SAYS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IF TOYOTA TOOK THIS SITUATION SERIOUSLY, OR IF IT AFFECTED THEIR BOTTOM LINE, THEY WOULD SEE TO IT THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS READY TO BE INSTALLED. IF ANYONE IS INJURED IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, I WILL HOLD TOYOTA AND NHTSA RESPONSIBLE.

HEARD NOTHING, SO I CALLED BACK AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT, PEOPLE HAD BEEN WAITING 2 MONTHS. RECALL NOTICE "STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU HAVE THIS REMEDY PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY". IF THE DEALER IS OVERWHELMED WITH THIS RECALL, WHY AREN'T INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS ALLOWED TO PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE? HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
