“After several months of having the srs light come on, it's now on all the time while driving. When I took it to the dealer, they replaced several sensors but the light came back and stayed on. I'm very frustrated that this cannot be resolved and its becoming a very expensive solution.”

“Our vehicle was struck at high speed by a person who ran a stop sign on a residential street. There was significant damage to almost every corner and side of the car. The car has been totaled. The driver was injured with pain and contusion in the neck, head, side, and elbows. No airbags were deployed. We have now learned that there was a recent recall for this specific matter. We never received any notice, in fact- we have since been to the dealer and no mention of the recall. The driver could have easily died in this accident. ...updated 10/28/14”
