Consumer Description

DT*: THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK MAINTENANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, THE CHECK MAINTENANCE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE CHECK MAINTENANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE AGAIN. LATER, THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON A WET ROAD. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP BEFORE STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR END. THE SEAT BELTS WERE IN USE AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CODES SHOWED FAULTY SENSORS IN THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER DETERMINED FURTHER TESTING WOULD BE REQUIRED BEFORE A FINAL DECISION COULD BE MADE ON THE AIR BAG FAILURE. *JB UPDATE 2/24/2006 - *NM
