What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The steering wheel completely detached while I was driving, resulting in a car accident and totaled car. The first responders stated that they “have never seen anything like this before. Steering wheels no not typically detach in this manner.”
Upon impact, the airbags failed to deploy. Additionally, the front passenger seat belt failed to lock, nearly causing the contact's daughter to strike the dashboard. The contact's daughter prevented injury by bracing against the dashboard. The vehicle was driven from the scene to the contact's residence.
The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance system failed to engage to prevent the collision. The contact sustained a left ankle fracture from the deployment of the front dashboard air bag and was transported to a local hospital. A police report was filed at the scene.
The front end of vehicle was damaged. The vehicle was towed. The contact's wife had soreness to the body and was managing the soreness with painkillers. The wife was eventually taken to the doctor for X-rays. A Police report was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle independently accelerated and the brakes failed to operate while the brake pedal was depressed, causing the front center of the vehicle to crash into a tree. No warning lights were illuminated. The air bags deployed as needed.
I was going 75 miles per hour at the time and my air bags did not deploy and my vehicle is very likely totaled. Due to airbags not deploying my head hit the steering wheel and window many times. The vehicle is available for inspection if requested.
