On July 21, 2023, I was vigorously hit in the rear by someone. According to the police report, this person's airbags deployed. Unfortunately, my airbag, although hit extremely hard, did not. I was injured pretty bad and had to get treatment for over a year. I am still not completely healed. I was uneasy about my airbag not deploying and was sent a safety recall notice explaining why it did not. To resolve the issue, the manufacturer is offering free repair of my vehicle. This is not sufficed, and I demand pain and suffering along with medical help. The airbag not deploying during my accident resulted in increased injury. Please help me mediate with the manufacturer.

Touch screen control has gone black and isn't accessible. The back up camera is no longer working. This vehicle has a lot of blind spots without a rearview camera. All setting have also switched to Canadian metrics-milage, tire pressure, speedometer etc. The seat belts also don't always lock in. Some times they lock in other times you have to punch in the button to try and get the locking mechanism to engage.

I could not buckle the front driver side seat belt. It felt like it was locked shut.

The rear seat belts recognize someone is in the back seat when there is nothing in the back seat. The seat belts have to be fastened at all times (with or without a passenger in the back seat). If one person is in the back seat bucked, the other spots will continuously "ding" until the seat belts are fastened. This has been ongoing from 1 week after the car was purchased (Aug 2018)
