2008 Toyota RAV4 Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	970356

Model Year	2008
File date	22/02/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag light came on one day after turning the car on and the light never went off after that. I had this repaired under a recall in 2011. I brought the car back to the same dealership and they told me it was the spiral cable. The cost to fix this was $500. 00. I feel that this is a safety issue with the air bag and is a faulty system given that this is the 2nd time it has happened to me. I see on the web that a lot of people who own this car are complaining about this too. My car only has 60,000 miles on it and this should not be happening on a car with that mileage. Please help in getting this through as a recall.
