In owners' own words
My daughter was driving my car on the interstate the airbags deployed and hit her in the face, filled the car up with smoke, she couldnât see anything she hit the iron poles that are together by cables. My car is totaled. My back tire broke completely off of the car. These cars arenât built safe. I owned my car and now Iâm without a car. Has anyone else ever had this happen? Air bags deploying for no reason? Air bags
Was side swiped by a semi truck which forced my car to spin around on the freeway. Then hit by multiple other vehicles and blacked out. Damage to every side of my vehicle and airbags should have deployed but they failed to do so. I received a recall notice for my vehicle last year and brought it into the dealership and had the airbags fixed. However, they still failed to deploy. Air bags · reported at 100,000 miles
This car was rear ended 17 months ago and none of the 8 airbags deployed. I got a herniated disc and a broken rib. The other driver insurance paid for the $12,000 repairs on my car and some of my medical expenses but now here I am with an injury for the rest of my life. This car should be included in the airbag lawsuit and I should be compensated for my injuries. Air bags · reported at 12,000 miles
