The subject vehicles may be equipped with an electronic control unit (ECU) from a specific supplier designed to receive signals from crash sensors and deploy the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The ECU may not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that can occur in certain crashes, such as severe underride crashes. This can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
To begin I would like to say that when I bought my car in 2014 the back middle seatbelt was already cut. My 12-year-old son was riding in the back seat passenger side. He had his seatbelt on and then he started complaining that it was getting tighter so I pulled over and tried getting the seatbelt to unlock. It would not unlock and was getting tighter. Finally I had to go into a gas station and borrow a pair of scissors to cut the seatbelt so my son could get out

I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed the car behind me approaching at a very high speed, I was constrained on both sides and unable to move to avoid an accident. The car rear-ended me at a high speed and within seconds pushed me at a high speed into the car in front of me, I did brace for the impact but the seatbelt never tensioned or locked and no airbags deployed in my vehicle even though my front end was impacted severely. I put my arms up and twisted my body to the left in order to protect myself. I used my own body as a protection. I am currently being treated for whiplash and shoulder pain due to no active or passive system in the car being deployed.
