What owners wrote
I was stopped on interstate due to collison in front of me I was struck from behind my drivers seat broke backward, I struck the car infront of me and my air bags deployed, I was struck in the rear again. After the collison I cllimbed out of the car and immediately notice it was on fire. The fire began in the driver side rear of the car. My concerns are the seat breaking backward and the fire.
The vehicle was in a mild frontal collision at 5 MPH and both air bags deployed. Per the owners manua, the air bags should only deploy in 30 MPH and faster collisions. Vehicle had been totaled due to the deployment of the air bags. Consumer felt that the defect described in recall 03 v 150 000 was the cause of the air bag failure.
