What owners say
While traveling at 50 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a frontal collision in which none of the airbags deployed. Airbag light has gone on and off prior to accident. Please provide any further information. Ts
Airbag light is on all the time, not taken to dealer yet.
Srs light stayed on continuously while car was in motion. The dealer replaced the seat backs, since they claimed that the side air bags were the problem. The light has not come on since the repair. Also, the steering wheel air bag cover did not properly fit. This unit was also replaced. This repair also appears to be acceptable. As for the windshield, it is leaking water into the interior. The dealer already made two attempts to fix this problem. The first attempt included resealing the windshield, and the second attempt was an adjustment to the moonroof. They claimed that both of these fixes would work, but I'm still finding water leaking into the interior. The leak has remained at the same location, about 4-6 inches left of center.
Airbag light stays illuminated while vehicle is in motion. Has been repaired under recall; however, problem still exists.
