Typical airbag symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe frontal or angled collisions at highway speeds where the driver or passenger airbag failed to deploy at all.
  • Several reports describe rear-end or T-bone crashes in which no airbags deployed despite visible vehicle damage and occupant injuries.
  • One report describes a post-crash fire that melted a seat belt and damaged the B-pillar and side curtain airbag area.
  • Some owners report seat belts failing to properly restrain occupants at the same time airbags did not fire, leading to chest, back, or head injuries.
  • A few complaints describe low-speed or low-mileage vehicles (including a near-new truck) where a rear impact produced no airbag deployment.
