Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was rear ended from a dead stop by a vehichle around 50 MPH and my airbags malfunctioned. I had smoke coming from the dash but no actual air bag protected me by coming out. The seat belts are locked up and no longer work. The car then forced me to leave it in the middle of the road because it does not allow you to push it or put it into neutral in any fashion. This also forced it to be harmful to the vehicle to be put onto the tow truck because all wheels were locked up.”
