2001 Mitsubishi Montero airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was traveling 40mph when another vehicle came out in front unexpectedly, and vehicle was "t" boned. Upon impact, air bags failed to deploy. Driver suffered abdominal/ leg , and neck injuries; front passenger suffered neck and hand injuries; and rear passenger suffered right knee and arm injuries. All received emergency treatment and released. *ak consumer stated that mitsubishi motors were notified, first they sent out an inspector, the test was done on the vehicle, but could not found anything, again another mechanic was assigned and consumer is still awaiting the result.
My vehicle was stopped at a red light waiting for a green turn signal. Other vehicle failed to straighten after making a turn and hit my vehicle head-on. His speed approx .35, my speed 0. His airbags fired off. Mine did not. Dealer cannot get airbag system to reset properly while under repair. They seem unconcerned. I want to know if my airbags will work.
Was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle traveling at 50mph and I was traveling at 50mph. The other car was totalled and my car is significantly damaged 50% of the front of the car and to the driver side door. Due to the newness of this car and minimal crash test information available, I am extremely concerned that the airbags did not deploy. I feel they should have and demand diagnostic testing and proof that the SRS is functioning properly. Most crash testing is performed at 30mph at which they do deploy. How do I get reassurance that this vehicle is safe and not malfunctioning?
