1)instrument gauges work sporadically: speedometer fails most not reporting any speed, or sticking at last location. Tachometer fails same way, and on occasion all gauges stick at current position. 2) exterior brake lights: brakes lights remain on/do not shut off while driving and even after car has been shut off completly. I've found them still on after several hours (no other lights on) 3) left turn signal: from time to time when you hit the brakes the left turn signal switches on. 4) car stereo: stereo/tape player stopped working. Clock does not come on, nothing. It does light up with interior lights but does not work at all. 5) was rear-ended in mva and airbags did not deploy.
While traveling approximately 20 to 25 MPH vehicle hit a bump and both frontal air bags deployed unexpectedly, shattering windshield. Vehicle has not been examined by dealership to determine cause of the problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
: the first week of june, my son was involved in a accident which caused the air bags to deploy. Both bags did deployed, but the passenger side air bag caught on fire. Fortunately no one was in the passenger seat, but the fire was severe enough to char the seat. I contacted the manufacturer and they did an investigation. In a letter they sent to me they say "our inspection revealed that the threshold for air bag deployment was met and the proper air bag deployment did occur". I don't feel that a fire caused by air bag deployment should be considered "proper deployment". It has taken me over a month to get them to look into this and to get this kind of response I find upsetting. Do you consider this as "proper air bag deployment"? I am sending you this on the recommendation of [email protected].

The car was totalled in a front end collision with the rear of a large cadillac. The airbags did not deploy. We estimate the speed at impact to be about 20 to 25 miles per hour. The front end of our neon appeared to be severely damaged (crumpled hood; destroyed radiator; etc . . .). The manufacturer claims that "damage to the front of your vehicle was not sufficient to cause the deployment of this life saving device." this seems ludicrous to us, particularly since we purchased the vehicle with the specific intent of providing important additional safety protections for our daughter. Please let us know if you have recieved similar information from others and what if any actions has been or may be take to hold the manufacturer accountable.

Air bags deployed - while driving both air bags deployed without collision. Driver suffered left arm injuries and cuts on hand. Police would not take a report because no other cars involved.
