Airbag failure (VERY IMPORTANT) I am reporting a serious vehicle safety issue involving airbag failure. I was driving a vehicle rented through Turo from Moon Rental Corporation when I was involved in a rear-end collision (hit-and-run) on the highway where I was going 65 and hit by a large SUV going 80 MPH. During the crash, the airbags did not deploy as photo, video, and police witness confirm. The impact was significant enough that airbags should have deployed, and I sustained injuries as a result. This raises serious concerns about the safety and condition of the vehicle, including possible defects or failure to properly maintain critical safety systems. The owner runs a rental car business Moon Rentals Corporation and uses Turo and is insured by Travelers Insurance Company. I am requesting that this incident be investigated as a potential safety defect in addition to negligence by the rental car owner for not inspecting or maintaining the vehicle to check for such defects.
The airbag service light was on prior to purchase. It wasn’t acknowledged by the dealership. When I asked about it he said “it’s because the car was sitting in the cold”. I took the car in to get looked at at a Ford dealership and they said my airbags are inoperable. My safety is at risk.
Hello I’m having problems with my drivers side seatbelt. It will pull out all the way as it will go and it will not go back to tighten up the seatbelt. Where I put my seatbelt back on it will not tighten back to keep me safe in seatbelt. It’s very loose and when I hit on the brake the seatbelt will not tighten up to protect me in the seat. Then sometimes I get in my vehicle the seatbelt will work normally to tighten back when I fasten my seatbelt. I took it to my dealership on Monday for oil change a tire rotation . I also told my advisor about the problem I was having and asked him to get them to check it out. They couldn’t find a problem with it at that time. But on Tuesday it was doing the same problem. My sister has fussing about how unsafe that was for use to drive like that. Please can you help me with this problem asap. Thanks in advance. The date of my visit to dealership was Monday 1/29/2024
