Filed Aug 21, 2000 · Airbags · TN · 1 injury

While driving at about 45 MPH driver's side airbag deployed, consumer lost control. There were no warning lights prior to this incident.

Filed Mar 10, 2000 · Airbags, Engine · CT

The seal around the air bag is cracked. Told dealer and they said that nothing could be done about it. Took it back in and they glued it. I had them test drive the car, in which I drove, to see if they could tell what the hollow sound was that I was hearing and the mechanic told me that it could be a bearing in the wheel that was going bad. But then the next day another guy told me that it sounds like the exhaust. I have also took the car to goodyear who informed the dealer that the car needed a water pump, front struts and back shocks and the mechanic changed only the back shocks. When I drive in reverse, I hear a clunking noise when I am braking. They have changed the motor mount in the front. The dealer's mechanic is always on the phone. The door chime sounded continuously. The speedometer works when it wants to and when it decides to work you can feel the car jerk while I am driving.
