What owners wrote
Car was going 34MPH at the point of impact, no airbags deployed...this was before the recall of the passenger side airbags: however severe damage done to the drivers side of the car as well and no deployment of any airbag. ...updated 07/11/17
Since the day I got the vehicle the passenger air bag was malfunctioning. They repaired 5 times but failed.finally they proposed a settlement agreement but it is unfair. My request is for a replacement vehicle.
