What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact stated that upon the initial impact, his wife's head struck the front passenger’s side window. The contact stated that there was a delay in the side curtain air bag deploying, and the passenger was trapped between the air bag and the side window.
On December 24, 2024, while operating the vehicle, the dashboard lights illuminated, and the steering wheel abruptly veered to the left, leading to a collision with large stationary rocks (boulders) alongside the road. The vehicle was required to be towed to a collision repair facility.
The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle received structural body repairs and the worm gear spring was replaced. The contact learned that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering) after the repair.
A drunk driver ran into the back of my car as soon as the light turned green. I just release my break and h9t hit going about 70mph. The airbags never went off at such a great impact. The car was totaled.
My daughter was driving my car and another person coming the other direction turned into ongoing traffic causing the cars to tbone. My car front was crushed in with $9,000 worth of damage head on. My daughter hit her head on the steering wheel and suffered a concussion.
UNKNOWN Accident involving direct hit to driver side door with no air bag deployment. Body shop estimator stated no codes were recorded, which is not normal. Also stated that seat belts did not lock, also not normal.
