What owners wrote
Dealer did not warn my 4'11", 100lb wife of dangers of air bag due to her size. Dealer was aware of wife neck problem. The passenger required brain surgery following accident. Despite repeated attempts dealer will not respond.
The air bags did not deploy during an accident. The consumer was rear ended and hit other vehicles, as this happened, the seat back broke and the seat belt buckle had came loose. The engine continued to run and the fuel safety switch did not turn off. Scc *nlm
