My girlfriend was involved in a single vehicle car wreck where she left the roadway at an approximate speed of 55mph and crashed into an embankment then rode a rock wall for about 75 feet where the car turned and flipped across the roadway. 2 of the tires were completely ripped off, the initial impact imploded the whole front quarter panel, both back corners of the car were destroyed among other parts of the car! not a single airbag went off! fortunately she suffered only minor injuries but it could have been much worse and this pisses me off severely considering i bought this vehicle for its high safety ratings! my insurance is going to look into the matter regarding the air bags not deploying but thought it would be good to bring this to your attention as well. i'd hate to see a fatality caused by the manufacturers negligence of not testing their equipment fully to meet production needs . *tr

Noticed that the air bag light is on constantly, the seat belt light keeps flashing and the passenger air bag light is always off even if a heavy adult is sitting in it. the seat belt light keeps flashing always. noticed this but thought as most times drive alone thought that as there is no passenger in the passenger seat most of the times and attributed the cause of the flashing seat belt light for that.but now know that this is definitely a safety issue. *tr
