What owners wrote
Car traveled off the highway, hit two tress and rolled over and no air bags deployed. (per pictures police report and testimony)
My vehicles air bags code showing on display. It stays on whether car is parked and running or while driving. I'm afraid I'll have an accident and the air bags won't work. I question whether they ever worked. I had a dog run out in front of my vehicle and couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting dog. Damaged front on passenger side of car and air bags did not deploy. Now I'm driving on interstate highways, major metro streets, and I'm concerned for safety.
