What owners wrote
I came upon stop and go traffic and came to my stop behind the car in front of me. The driver behind me failed to stop and hit the rear of my car. My brake pedal went all the way to the floor as all the electrical parts turned off and on. This included my motor, gauges, and radio. This pushed me into the driver in front of me. I was shocked to see my airbag didn't deploy and that my cars I-mid display showed to check my airbag system.
Sense the date of purchase the noise level from the road surface inside the car has been vary loud. I down loaded a db app in our iphone and have measured sound levels above 90db. On our recent vacation on highway 197 between the dalles and bend or which had been just tar&graveled the noise level was in the 90db+ range for close to 4 hours. This noise level is hazardous for adults but extremely dangerous for infants and young children.
