“Takata recall... As I was driving speed limit (60-65mph) on the freeway at around 11:30pm (10/21/16), driving on the 2nd lane. There was some debris on the road as I hit a pot hole my rear passenger tire pops. I instantly lose control as I see the semi-truck in the 3rd lane (truck lane). I tried to avoid the truck but the car took me into that direction. As my car slightly went under the truck, the trucks rear passenger tires ram over the top of the passenger side of the hood and my air bags never deployed. …”

NHTSA complaint #10225812, filed 2008-04, 36,000 miles“Vehicle struck highway 99 center guard rail (at a 45 degree angle) on passenger front bumper traveling approximately 65 miles per hour (spin) then reversed spin slamming rear bumper of vehicle into same guard rail.

NHTSA complaint #10450325, filed 2012-03, 68,000 miles“My air bags in my seats don't work at all. Neither does my air bag in my wheel. The tires shakes when I drive past 60 and the rims are not safe. This should not happen to my child what if she gets in a accident. The seat belt does not buckle and seat will not go back. 95000 miles and this is rediculious.”
