Typical airbag symptoms owners report
- Frontal airbags fail to deploy during moderate-speed head-on or offset collisions, around 35 to 65 mph, leading to extensive front-end damage.
- Side or driver's-side airbags fail to deploy in side-impact or single-car crashes despite significant vehicle damage.
- Rear-end collisions at moderate speed fail to trigger any airbag deployment, even with heavy structural damage.
- Owners report dealers unable to diagnose why airbags did not deploy after a police-reported crash.
- Some non-deployment incidents occurred alongside a Takata recall reference, with the vehicle towed or totaled after the crash.
