Typical airbag symptoms owners report

Airbags fail to deploy during low-speed and highway crashes, including rear-end impacts, head-on collisions, and single-vehicle crashes into fixed objects.
Only partial airbag deployment occurs in some crashes, with the driver-side airbag firing while the passenger-side airbag stays inactive, or one deploying weakly.
The airbag warning light illuminates intermittently, sometimes returning immediately after a dealer visit, without a clear cause being identified.
Owners report the airbag light coming on alongside seatbelt-related warnings in the passenger compartment.
Some drivers describe losing consciousness or control before a crash in which the airbags subsequently did not deploy, resulting in injuries such as concussions and broken bones.
