A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.

I was involved in a moving two car collision on a city street intersection. After everything came to a stop, I realized my airbag did not work. My front end was totally damage. One of the two metal bar-beans holding the bumper was completely broke; and the radiator pushed completely into the engine. For the grace of god, I was steering with both hands.

I got into an accident in october 2019 where I was rear ended and carried into another vehicle but my air bags did not deploy although my headrests did deploy but prior to the accident my car would fishtail when making turns when the roads were wet and while driving on the highway trying to merge into traffic my car loses acceleration all on its own and then gradually picks up speed again I've almost got hit several times because of this.
