What owners wrote

Bought car new 03/16. Involved in mva 06/01/16 where we were t-boned by a f150 truck at 30 MPH. The truck peeled the body of car off the frame from where the passenger door hinge all the way down to the rear passenger door. Damaging sensors that would have deployed side airbags. The door handle fell off, hinges had to be replaced, tail lights and head lights replaced, both passenger doors and tires replaced. Why did the side airbags not deploy?

On 1/23, I was involved in a mva. I was hit by another vehicle traveling faster than 65 miles per hour. My air bags did not deploy from any area in my car. My car was at a complete stop on a city street when I was hit.
