| Description of the problem | Took vehicle in for diagnostics as several lights were on. Was called by service advisor that the d squib circuit/spiral cable is faulty and therefore the air bag system is not operational. This is a huge safety issue as i was unaware of my airbags not functioning. Thank god, we did not get into an accident! The toyota dealer whom we purchased our 2007 rav 4 from brand new of course wants to repair it for approx. $500. 00. That is insane as this issue should never occur. After reading many postings on the internet, obviously this is a known issue and clearly there should be a recall to fix this. |
