My mother was driving my car and was only less than ten feet from my front door, still in the parking lot of my apartment unit. Both airbags deployed, she hadn't hit anything. They both deployed, cracked the windshield and disabled the dashboard.

Takata recall I was dropping my daughter off at the babysitters house on my way to a funeral around 10:30 on Sunday October 1, 2016. I pulled out the babysitters driveway and proceeded towards berkshire street. My car was in motion and before I made it to the corner my passenger side airbag burst open my dashboard opened all the way across to driver's side. My radio broke off my buttons flew off the dash and I couldn't tell whether it was dust or smoke from the airbag. I wasn't hurt but when I inhale my chest hurt and my asthma flared up and my right ear is irritated. Also my windshield is cracked on the passenger side. I didn't hit a bump or car it's smooth pavement I was confused as to what caused it.

I was standing outside of the vehicle, watching the gauges on the instament cluster going up and down, like they were loosing power, then both air bags exploded!,shattered the windshield and dashboard! I just cant believe that happened if I or my loved ones had been going down the road!!! well I dont want to think about that but, the piont is the system failled. And if I had hit a wall or something and been killed it would have looked like the air bags worked properly. This car was in my drive ideling, in park no one even touching it!

I was driving on main street in rio vista and my vehicle just simple shut off. The car rolled and hit a planter in front of the store as I tried steering it out of the street. When I tried to start it again, the ignition switch would not operate. I called the amica roadside assistance and was towed to abel Chevrolet. They informed me that this problem was typical to this year vehicle and that the ignition switch would need to be replaced. They replaced it at a cost of approximately $509.11 since my ignition has already been replaced, do I need to take it back in" also will I be compensated for the cost of the replacement"

This car was one-owner and very well taken care of and serviced routinely. I was driving home from work on the interstate and my car just lost power. I had no control of the car. It slammed into the concrete medium wall on drivers side, then spun around and lodged underneath the trailer of a semi-tractor. The semi hit the brakes and it projected me back across upon the top of the concrete medium where my car just rode to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. My beautiful car was totaled but, by the grace of god and seat belts I am alive. I have a concussion, sprained ankle, cuts, and bruises, but I am here to tell about it. Hopefully, the NHTSA will investigate and save someone else from injury or death. My car is available to inspect.

Electronic - first problem was airbag light staying on - after at least 4 trips to dealer - problem fixed - now radio is locked and somehow connected to door locks and security system - apparently this is an issue for this model and needs recall.

Our son was going appx 35 miles an hour and my husband was in the passenger front seat. A drunk driver pulled out of an apartment complex, literally on top of my husbands car - hitting them on the front right side. The airbags did not deploy and my husbands seat belt did not hold. He was in perfect health before this accident and is now a partial functioning quadriplegic. All because of defected air bags!!! I realized also, this is not the first time someone's seat belt did not hold!!
