In owners' words
What Corolla Hatchback owners report
Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
When I start the car it informs me that my seat belt is not being worn. Even though it is. Then a message appears on my dash that says "Srs airbag system malfunction visit your dealer" My family's safety is at risk if ever involved in a accident with no airbag deployment.
