2023 Toyota RAV4 Air bags Problems

“Driving NB when a Toyota Corolla drove into my lane of traffic hitting me head on. No air bag deployed in my RAV but all air bags deployed in the Corolla.

Toyota has done nothing to right the wrong mechanically, refund me for the vehicle (a lease) or offer a replacement. …”
