Example complaints

One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

2008: “Plug for knee airbag becomes loose and triggers airbag light. Based on dealer feedback this is a wire harness plug issue and will cause the knee airbag to not inflate. This is a potential safety concern cause by a possible design/manufacturing defect.”
