What owners wrote
I was in an accident april 7th at 9:30 pm. I was driving down having a problem with keeping my windows from fogging up and had taken my eyes out from the road to look at my defrost knobs to make adjustments. When I looked back up, there was a truck stopped at the intersection which I hit dead on at a speed of 40MPH. I believe I had enough time to take my foot off the gas pedal and start to apply my brake before colliding into the rear of the truck.
Took car to dealer as passenger side airbag warning light comes on sometimes when my wife is in passenger seat, dealer said no outstanding recall & no codes showed on their inspection. Said passenger must weigh at least 120 lbs which my wife does. This is a critical safety issue. Never had a problem in any other owned cars. I am sure there are many small women who weigh less than 120 lbs in this country.
