What owners wrote
Airbags did not deploy during car accident and are not available for inspection as car was totaled. My safety and the safety of other passengers were put at risk the driver was slammed forward since the car got rear ended and the driver's chest was slammed into the steering wheel; medical attention was required and injuries were sustainted. The other two passenger also required medical attention and sustained injuries one to their neck and the other to their head, chest, and back.
Three issues - 1 - the knob on my shift broke and popped off. The plastic broke, and rendered the button useless. 2 - the passenger side airbag works intermittently. Does not seem to be impacted by weight, but the light comes on sometimes other times it does not. 3 - the side panel of the seat that holds the electronics for the seat popped off and does not go back on. Another junk piece of plastic. This has caused the seat to adjust unexpectedly.
