What owners wrote
Traveling at 35 - 40 MPH and cars came to a stop and no matter how hard I pushed the brakes, the car would not stop. Steering wheel and under steering wheel airbags deployed, burning my shin. Upon starting the car at the body shop, the dashboard caught on fire due to the airbag modular. Fire destroyed my vehicle.
I was in a rearended in a collision that the driver behind me was driving 50-55MPH and did not see I was stopped for a light. My back was injured(herniated discs and leg swelling and bruising) because my airbag did not go off and my drivers seat broke sending me back a ways in the 2007 pacifica.
