2005 Toyota RAV4 air bags problems

“The recall repair was completed 7/15/25. It never updated in anyone’s system. I have been fighting between Toyota corp and the dealership for weeks more like a month just to get them to do the repair. After it was done I got my car damaged. A whole separate issue. I need to get inspection done on the car; can’t get it registered and my insurance is hassling me. It’s been weeks of this nightmare. It still shows my car on the recall list. DMV says they didn’t receive updates, Toyota sends me to the dealership and the dealership does nothing. All this over a car problem that wasn’t my fault in the first place. How do I proceed please”

“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 CAR WAS A TOYOTA RAV4 BASIC MODEL 2005 BOUGHT TOYOTA PURCHASE AT DEALER IN (LA,CA)， A CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUNE 09, 2017 AND ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 26, 2018; THE SECOND ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A LACK OF WORK ON MY CAR AIRBAG. MY HEAD AND BODY COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY JOB AND PAY TOO MUCH TIME AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. *TT *TR”

“"TAKATA RECALL" MY CAR ONLY HAD IT'S PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG REPLACED. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE DRIVERS SIDE (STEERING WHEEL) AIR BAG, DID NOT NEED REPLACING???? I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHETHER IT SHOULD BE OR NOT. I'VE MISPLACED MY WORK RECEIPT, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED HANDS. SO I DON'T KNOW THE DATE OF THE REPLACEMENT OF ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP!”
