“I had an accident in june 2016. Airbag failed. The brake has been giving me problems. It would randomly work and sometimes it doesn't where the car just skids with the pedal on the floor.”
NHTSA complaint #11076821, filed 2018-03, 120,000 miles“The front passenger seat airbag shows that the airbag & seat belts was deployed (without an accident ). The manufacturing and dealer declines coverage for this defect. The cost to fix this issue is on the vehicle owners burden and I do not believe it is fair if it a defect from the manufacturing. The sensor lights showing the airbags were deployed shall be at manufacturers cost not consumer. The sensor lights are on at all times,stationary, in motion , except . I when the car is turn off. …”
