What owners wrote
Coming out of left hand turn, air bag deployed, causing cuts & chaffs on both arms and causing me to hit a concrete medium blowing out 3 tires.
I stopped at a light and went to move up a few feet. I touched the gas petal and the car flew into the truck in front of me. Airbag did not deploy with this front end collision. I was on a 4 lane divided highway in 5 o'clock traffic. No rain. I am unsure if it was the gas petal or something to do with the gas line itself
