What owners wrote
My family and I were involved in an accident and the airbags did not deploy, not one and it was the front end of car that was impacted on us hwy 19 in the rain. We did sustain injuries and are still working on our recovery, but had the airbags went off we may have been saved from some of the damage to our bodies.
I had the right of way driving and a lady t boned me on my driver side. My car was declared totaled but at no time during the collision or even after did my airbags deploy.
