What owners wrote
Takata recall. I was traveling on us 77 in virgina when the traffic can to a stop due to a merging arrow. I merged and stop. I was rear ended by the car behind me as it did not stop. My car hit the car in front of me and then rolled over. The air bags did not deploy anywhere in the car. I believe the driver's air bag should have been enabled after hitting the car in front of me. I believe the side air bags should have been enabled when the car flipped over.
