What owners wrote
I was involved in a low speed frontal crash on an interstate highway. I was belted in and didn't even touch the airbag, but the airbag shot flames out of the right side hole burning my arm like a blowtorch. I have photos of the injury and it's healing stage. I was advised to go to the hospital for stitches as it split my arm open wide, but I'd been there 5 times in the last 8 months and just dressed it myself. The airbag is supposed to help prevent injury and it was the only thing that caused an injury!
