  1. Filed Sep 20, 2026Failure May 8, 2024Carwright, OKAir bags

    My Airbag light stays on its been on 3 years after i got the car we thought it was something with wiring or a fuse but it is not and it will cost alot to even get fixed so if i ever get into a wreck my airbags will not deploy and i think this should be a recall

    NHTSA complaint 11765660
  2. Filed May 17, 2023Failure May 8, 2023Duluth, GAAir bagsCrash1 injured

    I had a very serious accident last week while driving my 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage. The front of my vehicle was significantly impacted, but none of the airbags were deployed. I can't believe that this nearly brand-new car, which had all the inspections and services at the manufacturer's centers, has this problem. This is a life-threatening failure of a crucial safety component that didn't work during the accident. Everything has been documented by both the insurance company and myself and can be shown to other parties.
