“Side airbags deployed when we slid off the road. No impact not even a scratch or dent on the vehicle. We did not hit anything but only slid sideways off the road. The insurance company inspected the vehicle nothing but the airbags were damaged. No other warnings.”
“For several years now, when someone sits on the front passenger seat, the airbag light will intermittently come on. It also comes on if the person gets out of the seat. I took the vehicle to a dealership and they charged me over $100 to diagnose, and said the cable was loose and they fixed it. The next day it started doing this same thing again, but it doesn't happen when the dealer looks at the vehicle to replicate and fix the issue.”
“The airbag light on the dash keeps coming off and on randomly. Stays on for a period of time or goes off after a couple seconds. Also for electrical, I was driving down Hwy and the vehicle died and turned back on within 5 seconds. Had to jiggle battery cables for it to come back on. I had two small children in the vehicle and I don’t feel it’s safe to drive any longer.”
“AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH IS MAINLY ON.... 95%+ OF THE TIME.... NO INFORMATION ON CODE READER, TO TELL WHY OR WHICH AIRBAG IS MAKING LIGHT COME ON....AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MEANS THAT ALL WOULDN'T WORK OR JUST ONE OR???”
“DRIVING EAST IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE, FORD TAURUS, ENTERED THE LANE CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS TRAVELING WITHIN THE SPEED LIMITS. I HAVE INJURIES AND REINJURED PARTS OF MY BODY. OCTOBER 26 2020.”
“IT'S DRIVABLE JUST I NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE DASHBOARD RADIO GO DIM OCCASIONALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE MAYBE TAKE A HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO REGULAR AND IF I HAVE THE RADIO AT HIGH VOLUME WHILE DRIVING AND I DECREASE SPEED THE VOLUME LOWERS ITSELF JUST A CONCERN THAT IT MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR”
