What owners wrote

Takata inflator failed when in a front end crash due to a drunk driver at 45MPH. Drunk driver hit car in front of me and I swerved to the left and t-boned drunk driver on passenger side door causing him to spin around and slam into driver side of bed. With this kind of impact air bags should have deployed and fuel cut off should have engaged, but nothing happened.
