“I was in an mva on 4/7/2020. I was traveling at 45mph when I collided with another vehicle. My airbags did not deploy, whereas all of the other vehicle's did. Because of this, I slammed into the steering wheel. I received extreme whiplash, stashed muscles in the chest, and a large contusion across my lower abdomen. I also received injury to my legs.”
NHTSA complaint #11338872, filed 2020-07, 75,000 miles“I'm having issues with the airbag light... Keeps coming on staying on when cold below 39 degrees.. One time last week came on at 54 degrees doing research the VIN is not on recall list but similar make model versions are over 2,500 recalls I was driving to the bank when this occurred about 8pm”
NHTSA complaint #11184473, filed 2019-03, 57,000 miles“I was in an accident on march 12 2018 a tractor trailer sidewiped the ls of my car and destroyed the entire side . The car might be totaled. No airbags went off at all! He came into my lane at a good speed and a full load. I am lucky to be alive. I have had other problems with this car only to be ignored by the dealer. I paid cash for the car at the end of 2015 and now I have nothing. Besides being hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #11082337, filed 2018-04, 54,000 miles“My car was stationary in my driveway and off when my driver's side airbags deployed. Nothing touched my car, there was no reason for them to deploy. My car's srs light is not on. As of now this car is not part of the takata recall; I don't know what inflators are in my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11254680, filed 2019-09, 80,000 miles“Yesterday, on march 26, 2021 during road trip an airbag light came on without no reason and it still stays on. On march 27, 2021 I called my dealer to get help. I was trying to ask them to waive inspection fee because it is safety concern, but they said no . My car is 6 years old, 66,000 mileage. I am first owner and this car was never involved in any crash. Because of present covid19 crisis I have not enough money to pay upfront for special inspections. I hope that I will get help in your department.”
