What owners wrote
My daughter, [xxx] , was involved in an automobile accident where she rear ended another car head on going approximately 30 miles an hour' which probably totaled her car and no airbags delpoyed not even the front ones.
The driver side airbag off light came on and stays while the car is on. The passenger side airbag off warning light has been faulty for several years now- it sometimes turns on when there is an adult passenger sitting properly in the passenger seat with a seatbelt on. This is intermittent; however it happens fairly often for the past several years when there is a passenger sitting there. A few days ago, the driver side airbag warning light illuminated.
