Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I brought my car in after a faulty airbag light went off. Was notified by Bmw that the seat sensor was faulty causing the airbag to shut off. This fault is well-known to Bmw and I wrote a complaint based on my initial contact that Bmw would not take responsibility. I received a call back from Bmw about the complaint made to them in which they stated because I have an extended warranty they will take no ownership or responsibility for the reported problem. …”
