What owners wrote
My husband was in dallas getting his passport and some man ran a stop sign hit a police office two other cars and my car that my husband was driving. The passenger airbags did not deploy to help and my father in law who was in the passenger front seat was injured.
The vehicle has shown problems that were previously recalled including tire monitoring system, passenger air bag warning light remains lit, and rear hatch fails to function. More recently the vehicle fails to start and has strong smell of gas. The fuel pump was replace by a certified mechanic but the problem persists, failure to start or run. In addition, the battery has drained even after being checked and recharged, clearly an electrical problem. The VIN number search shows no recall notices. Updated 2/10/2016
