What owners wrote
I was coming off a red light and was hit by another vehicle on the drivers side / front drivers side of the car. The other vehicle was driving at least 55 MPH as that is the posted speed. I had two children in the back. One in a rear facing car seat. The seat belts did not engage. The car seat flipped to the side . No side or front air bags went off.
Massive air bag failure, notice that all air bags are not functioning. Two friends that have same vehicle have same failure. Told that passenger weight sensor or wiring failure will cause massive failure of air bags. This seams to be a safety problem and needs to be addressed., 2 out of 3 having the same failure seems excessive and of national concern.
