What owners wrote

We were hit on the drivers and passengers sides of the vehicle by another vehicle that was travelling at an estimated 90-100 MPH, and the airbags did not deploy. My vehicle was travelling at about 50 MPH on an interstate when it was struck on the driver's side first. The force of that impact pushed my vehicle into a large box truck on the passenger's side. The police stated that the airbags should have deployed with the extreme force of the impact.

Air bag did not deploy on impact. Driving approximately 15 MPH on a residential road when brake's locked and car did not respond, running directly into a telephone pole while on a hill/slope. Car picked up speed before impact. Air bag sensor or error appeared on impact, car smelled of smoke/burning. Front body and frame had extensive damage, ie. Radiator cage(?). Air bags did not deploy and police stated that given the impact, they should have.
