I was traveling westbound on state route 262 at approximately 32 miles per hour when I encountered a stopped vehicle. I applied the brakes and the vehicle began an initial brake and then lurched forward without my releasing my foot from the brake pedal. This caused me to strike the vehicle in front of me. The air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt properly restrain me. This caused me to strike the steering wheel with my chest and stomach. The hamilton county police office documented that the air bags and the seatbelt did not properly function. I was sited for following to close even though I feel that the brakes failed. I plan to appeal the ticket due to this reasoning in court on november 29, 2001. The safey of other owners/drivers of these vehicles is what prompted me to write. I would like to know if there have been other failures. Please send them to my e-mail address: [email protected] thanks for your time and attention with this matter.

Consumer's vehicle rear ended a big weight truck at apporximately 65 MPH, and neither driver's side nor passenger's side airbags deployed. Dealer has been examining the vehicle.
Airbag light stayed on at all times. Front sensors were replaced twice, once in march, and again on the 2nd of may. Light was back on, and consumer was concerned if it will deploy if needed.
To whom it may concern. My name is conrad duval and am employed at auburn metal fabrication as a shop supervisor .the company recently purchased this new vehicle which I use to go back and forth to work .well to get to the matter at hand the air bag light was staying on so we brought it in for service .a small mouse or rodent found a way into the fuse box and nauyed all the wiring and made a nest .I would think this compartment should be made less accessible to a mouse.damage is estimated at 2 to 3 thousand $ something is not right here.whats to say this won't happen again after its repaired.I would think this would not be safe if it wen't undetected.
