“I own a 2008 XB and air bags never deployed when hit in passenger front side of car by a deer and back shoulder restraint didn't lock on impact allowed person to hit back of driver seat . After crash motor stayed running but hazard lights wouldn't work and just glad no one was killed. I just want someone to be aware that this could have been a bad outcome and to check out the safety of a vehicle to save lives.I did enjoy my XB lots room and great handling in snow.”

Replaced both sides cost almost $900 just parts alone. I've never own a new car before that has so much issues like this one.
