What owners wrote
Takata recall. I was driving down a county road, I sneezed and hit my face on the steering wheel and hit a tree at 40 MPH. My air bags did not deploy at 40MPH in a frontal crash. It totaled the car. Bent the frame and frame around the motor. My passenger was hurt worse than me. Why didn't my air bags deploy?
