Typical airbag symptoms owners report

  • Driver-side frontal airbag fails to deploy or deploys only partially during a moderate-to-severe crash.
  • Steering wheel airbag stays inflated-cover intact while lower knee or footwell airbags fire alone.
  • Passenger-side airbag cover pops loose but the bag itself gets stuck and never inflates.
  • Seat belt retractor fails to lock at the same time airbags fail to deploy, reducing occupant restraint.
  • Owners report the dashboard airbag warning light stays on from the time of delivery.
  • Some owners cite a Takata recall notice (campaign 15V319000) but say replacement parts were unavailable for an extended period.
