There's no reports here of over sensitive airbags, but there's been a few complaints here that the airbags didn't deploy when the posters firmly believed they should have.
I would expect a 20 km/hr impact to deploy the airbags, but there's no way any of us can judge the severity of your impact, and I'd rather it go off light then too heavy.
I was in a minor parking lot collision in which my front bumper was damaged and the airbag deployed (honestly no way I was going more than 30 km/hr). The car continued to start for days after the accident, but now only clicks when I try to start it up. All the electrical components work, including lights, radio, and wipers, but the car won't start. I haven't seen any signs of leaking under the car.
Is this a battery issue, or something more sinister? Please let me know!
Hi all, I was in a minor collision earlier this week and while my Sorento started fine for a few days, it now won't start. All the electrical components (radio, wipers, headlights, etc) work but the car just clicks rapidly when I push to start. I've observed no signs of leaking, however, I was...
It's an SUV not a sports car, if I slammed the pedal and traveled the 50 ft from one side of the garage to the other, I'd be going far less than school zone speed.
Like I said there's no reason for the airbag to go off at this speed.
Will the windshield wipers activate when the weatherman says it's going to rain next?
Just want to know if anyone else has had this problem.
Going over the handlebars of a bicycle at 30km/hr can mean pretty serious injuries or death if the wrong thing is in front of you. Yeah you can get lucky too and not suffer badly. Same in a car, which is why you want the airbag to deploy at any speed that could cause injury.
Airbags are designed to deploy at 25 mph, so maybe yours was set a little low or you were going faster than you think. Most people aren’t routinely running into things at 25 mph and would prefer more protection rather than less.
Well 4 days ago in my region, the 47YO driver in this light accident died following airbag deployment. THe driver was going for a dialysis treatment and had tubes implanted in his body for this medical purpose....the airbag impacted the tubes and caused fatal internal bleeding....The car was an ex police cruiser

For some reason the passenger dome light doesn't come on. I know how the buttons work, and I checked the bulb with a multimeter. I didn't see a seperate fuse for that light, any idea where to look? thanks.
I have a 2014 with the following issue with power door locks which started occurring a few days ago:
