Typical airbag symptoms owners report

  • Airbags fail to deploy at all during frontal or side-impact crashes, sometimes leaving drivers or passengers with fractures or lacerations.
  • Only one side of the airbag system deploys, such as the passenger airbag firing while the driver airbag stays inactive, or the reverse.
  • Airbags deploy unexpectedly during normal driving with no collision, filling the cabin with smoke and causing the driver to lose visibility and crash.
  • Owners tie some non-deployment failures to the Takata inflator recall, reporting injuries such as wrist fractures and neck injuries after crashes.
  • Airbags deploy during low-speed collisions or parking incidents where owners expected the system to stay inactive, sometimes causing injury from the deployment itself.
