What owners wrote
I was in a head-on collision (T-bone) going over 40 mph. Despite the severity of the collision no airbags deployed and both front seatbelts failed. Error Codes: B0052:00 Deployment commanded; B0015:04 Driver seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open; B0022:04 Passenger seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open. I have a police report but it exceeds the 10mb limit.
The dash panel is cracked in several places and could affect the air bag deployment during a crash. I have been told the cause of the cracks are due to a combination of the flexing of the automobile, lack of proper support and heat.
