What owners wrote
I rear ended a car and nearly totaled my car. For some odd reason the airbag never deployed during the time of impact.
2 weeks after I purchased this car, the airbag light on the instrument panel came on. Dealer refused to do anything about it. Also noticed 2 weeks after I purchased, that the sunroof assembly leaks, and water pools around the spare tire. Worried about water damage caused to the spare tire, and the possibility of mold growing.
