What owners wrote
I was involved in a accident on december 15, 2015 the other driver cut across three lanes and into my car at MPH 40. My vehicle was struck thrusting it into a small wall and pole. My seat belt unbuckled and the airbags did not deploy I think this is a manufacture defect.
The airbag light remains on: code b1706. The passenger seat belt buckle tensioner failed and now the airbags will not work. Dealer cost is $400 to diagnose and fix with no guarantee.
