I was driving down the highway in anchorage ak I heard a loud bang like a gunshot , when the vehicle was inspected I was told basically Evap, fuel system , fans , electrical , Cadillac converter exploded was the loud bang ! Serious issues have caused the vehicle to be inoperable !
I was in a car accident on June 20, 2023. I was stopped in traffic and was hit in the rear and pushed into the vehicle in front of me. The air bags detonated but did not deploy. The steering wheel and both front seat side air bags had some coming but the airbag did not deploy.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

My family is now having respiratory issues due to the mold issue.

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
