What owners wrote
Takata recall the car was in motion on the highway. An object was struck in the road and the airbag deployed only on the driver side of the vehicle.
The air bag light comes on and chimes all the time. No one even has to be sitting in the seat. Goes off all the time. The air bag will not work if it is in a crash. This should be recalled and fixed
