What owners wrote
I had an accident and my air bags did not deploy, I was injured my face nose & neck, also my key comes out of ignition while vehicle is on
While driving on the freeway with children in the car, the rear differential broke, making steering extremely difficult. It felt as if we were going to flip, I slowly moved over and luckily we were able to stop before a horrific accident occurred. Once we stopped we got out to find the passenger rear tire tilted inward and undrivable. After taking it to the shop we found that the rear differential and frame broke as well as the control arms.
