What owners wrote
Takata recall my family and I were in a roll over accident on august 20th 2019 our airbags did not deploy at impact. We were in motion going 60MPH on cournty road 799 going towards george west tx when my vehicle was headed towards a covert and jerked the wheel to the left to avoid the ditch but the steering wheel jerked back to the right sending us on the 2 side passenger wheels and then rolling over 3 times I blacked out and when we stopped the air bags still didnt deploy.
Was driving to work and we had a lite snow the night before. I hit a slick spot on highway and lost control of the car and hit a telephone poll. The car is now totaled, the front end was completely torn off, drivers seat broke, windshield shattered and was partially on the dash. The airbag did not deploy. This resulted in a head concussion, torn right shoulder and badly bruised knees along with minor cuts to hands and face. The man who towed it away also wondered about this.
