“As I have owened the car for over a year now, have not had any issues besides the airbag light coming on. This happened today as my wife was taking my son to daycare. This is an issue I have seen among theese cars and needs to be addressed. I have a 1 year old and I would be sueing if he were to get injured by the system caused from poor manufacturing. Please have this issue fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11230235, filed 2019-07, 67,568 miles“My car was working perfectly fine until I left work today. My check engine light came on as soon as I started my car and it kept saying 'check parking brake' and 'check airbags' I couldn't put my car in drive or reverse, it wouldn't go anywhere. Possibly because the parking brake wouldn't let me drive. Very strange, as it was sudden and unexpected.... Have never had a problem with parking brake or airbags.”
NHTSA complaint #11234943, filed 2019-07, 57,000 miles“Tamara recall I was hit in the front and side drivers and not one of my air bags went off from the impact. I was forced by the other car into a curb. Lights would flicker constantly even after battery was changed twice. From the cause of the accident I have had major injuries sustained.”
NHTSA complaint #11205893, filed 2019-05, 74,140 miles“My car stalls when I start to drive. If I don't let it idle in park for a good 15 minutes it will stall and tells me to put it in park. Once it stalls it is difficult to restart. Also the airbag light keeps coming on. If I hit the smallest pothole the airbag light comes on and it gives me a message stating service airbags. Also the driverside seat came untracked and cannot move it forward or backwards without it making a weird noise.”
NHTSA complaint #11187166, filed 2019-03, 5 miles“One minute the airbag light will be on then the next it will be off. It's something with the passenger side every time someone sits there or move the passenger seat. It continues to go on and off. I have searched on the internet for any recalls but didn't see any. I did notice that other people are also having problems with this on either both, or just one side of the car. It's not just me having a problem with the airbag. I think this should be a safety hazard and needs to be recalled to be fixed.”
