airbag deployed during fender bender. had driving leg forward and left leg bent at 90 degree angle. When airbag deployed it hit right leg full force and basically exploded the bones. Almost lost my leg. Permanently disabled
The radio started having issues with the rear view camera. Did a soft reset and worked until today. The screen only shows "loading navigation" and the rear view camera is not working. A soft reset did not repair the problem. I just bought the car 4 months ago and having issues with it...unbelievable
