All Air Bags Complaints
Air bag service light came on without any incident or accident being involved.
Issues with the door panel coming loose where my air bag is. Both of my front door panels are coming loose and this is a safety concern I have.
PASSENGER DOOR PANEL WORKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS CAUSED THE UPPER PART TO PULL AWAY FROM ITS MOUNTS AND IS EXPOSING THE SIDE AIRBAG LEAVING IT EXPOSED TO ADDITIONAL HEAT AND ELEMENTS. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THE ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DISCHARGE
I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON HWY 80 IN TRUCKEE, CA IN RAIN/SNOW WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLIDE AND TURNED SIDEWAYS GOING DOWN AN INCLINE. THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT A GUARD RAIL ALMOST HEAD ON AT 60+ MPH. THE HIT THEN CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO ROLL THREE TIMES. THE PICTURES I HAVE PROVIDED SHOW HOW THE VEHICLE LANDED AND THE DAMAGE. THE PICTURES ALSO SHOW THAT THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY.
MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP, AS SHE WAS ENGAGING THE BREAK TO THE FLOOR. SHE IS UNSURE IF WHEN SHE TURNED CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, BUT EITHER WAY THE BRAKE SHOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF. THEN WHEN THE POLE WAS HIT, ALL THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF EXCEPT THE PASSENGER LOWER AIRBAG. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND I HAVE A HURT ANKLE, KNEE, AND HIP. WHY WOULD ALL AIRBAGS GO OFF EXCEPT ONE IF THE IMPACT WAS DIRECTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR? THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING WHEN SHE NOTICED IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN.
