Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takara recall ..front and passenger airbags did not deploy in accident. I was stopped in traffic when a car struck me from behind going highway speed , impact caused the car to get stuck in my trunk pushed me down the highway sideways and stuffed the nose of my car into the guardrail breaking the guardrail , quick thinking saved our lives ( my husband was in the passenger seat )I saw the car coming full highway speed and nosed my car into the breakdown lane to avoid getting stuffed under the truck infront of me. The car was a complete loss, I ended up with a concussion, torn rotator cuff, fractures in my right arm and right knee, chronic headaches, and paranoia of driving.. Luckily no one was in the backseat because the rear seat broke from impact with the spare tire.
While driving my airbags blew up and I crashed resulting in my back and both legs being broken
