I was hit by a truck driving at least 50mph. His air bags all went off, mine did not. I was at a rolling start to drive, he was on the highway. With the amount of damage done to the car and the force of the accident it is absolutely terrifying that the airbags did not go off to save me from hitting the steering wheel so hard.

A warning light came on for the airbag randomly. It evolved to the following issues: Radio control panel going out with no volume control besides the steering wheel, static on the radio, a warning that park assist needed to be serviced (vehicle does not have park assist), headlights would not turn off upon the vehicle being turned off. The "solution" as there were so many errors that randomly started popping up (mind you, my car was serviced less than a month ago) is a $1500 change of a sensor or unplug the backup camera permanently. This clearly is a manufacturer defect, as why all of a sudden would the car suddenly think I have features that I don't even have on the car.
