“January 2, I was driving on i95 at 60 miles an hour, another car got flat tiers and lost control, suddenly made a u turn and impacted me front to front, my air bags didn't deployed, called car maker and they have no re-calls and no taking any actions about my report.”
NHTSA complaint #10683352, filed 2015-02, 32,000 miles“The air bag light came on and I took it to the dealer and a part has gone bad. This vehicle isn't that old for parts to go bad since airbags systems are good for a long time. I've seen others have had problems with the airbags and this should be investigated because airbags are the most important thing in a family vehicle. Also just like the others, I've had issues with my radio and lightening in the inside. The radio goes on and off and the lights keep dimming then going bright again. All of this occurs regardless if I'm moving or parked. …”
