What owners wrote
On may 09, 2017 I was rear ended while sitting still by a car traveling approximately 45 MPH and pushed into the car in front of me. I was wearing my seatbelt and my face was projected into the steering wheel. During the impact my seatbelt didn't seem to activate and not one airbag deployed. My vehicle has not been inspected yet but I would guess it to be totaled due to the front and rear impact damage.
We were at a complete stop at the outer city street signaling to make a left and a car hit us from behind without breaking at 60 -70 speed and the airbags did not deploy. The back of the vehicle is smashed in and not one airbag went off. There were two adults (driver & passenger) and two children (backseat).
