Air Bags · reported Sep 23, 2026
My daughter was in the driver’s seat when her boyfriend got out of the front passenger seat & slammed the front passenger door setting off all side curtain airbags on the passenger side of the car. This happened on August 15, 2026. The vehicle has since been deemed totaled, by insurance & a 3rd (working with the insurance company) has taken possession of the vehicle.
Power Train · reported Jun 15, 2026
The transmission failed while I was driving on the freeway and I couldn’t go more than 30 mph while traffic was going 75-80 mph.

Upon researching it we found that this is typical of this make, model and year vehicle with no resolve from manufacturer. We find this completely unacceptable to have a known defect like this with safety at hand and no where to turn for help to remedy these vehicles.
