Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT MILAGE ON THE CAR. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40 , BUT I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST BECAUSE 1) THE ROAD WAS WET BECAUSE IT HAD JUST RAINED LIGHTLY, MAYBE 8 MINUTES PRIOR 2) I SAW THE OTHER DRIVER'S CAR WAS IN MY LANE. I WAS HIT PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! I HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF MY CAR.THUS MY BEAUTIFUL CONCORD WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT HAD BEEN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
