Was in a car accident on Wednesday may 27,2026 . Crashed at a speed of about 51 if not more and NONE of the air bags deployed. I have spoken to my insurance and they said I needed to file a complaint or claim someway else for the airbags not deploying.

Filed Jul 31, 2020 · Brakes · 125,000 miles · CA

Exited I-40 in tucumcari, nm. Right turn off interstate, right turn into shell. Upon leaving the fuel station to enter I-40 westbound, I had no brakes. Pedal to the floor. Coasted uphill to restaurant parking lot; brake fluid under driver-side front wheel. Unusual since I had zero braking power. Shredded brake hose was replaced the next day. Problem is discussed by a mechanic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouz-trm5kg&t=620s

Filed Dec 4, 2001 · Seat belts, Seats · OH

There is only one lap and shoulder belt on each of the bench seats in rear of vehicle. Consumer feels this is unsafe for 4 of the 6 passengers that may be seated. Dealer has been contacted.
