What owners wrote
The vehicle was in a major car accident before I purchased the vehicle and the carfax states that the car was involved in am accident with another vehicle which caused severe front damage reported. Multiple airbags deployed. The sub rail frame has been welded together by someone that did not appear to know what they were doing and now the entire frame is cracked again.
Driver airbag light illuminated on dashboard while car was in motion on highway in pouring rain weather. Car horn is also currently not working/able to be used in event of emergency or warning. Airbag light would come on for about 6 seconds and then go off repeatedly then finally stayed on for good. Appears to be a clock spring issue from research that may not have been initially covered and completed in 2015 manufacturer recall. VIN is also not included in current takata airbag recall either....
