What owners wrote
We were in a car accident and ended up rear-ending a vehicle that had already stopped. We hit at an estimated speed of 20-25MPH and the airbags did not deploy. We were traveling at 45MPH when the brakes were hit. It seems like the airbags should have deployed at this speed. We only have minor injuries, but if there is a possibility others could get hurt because of a similar issue I feel that it should be at least looked into.
