Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On the way home from a celebration in our town, I hit a deer. I immediately heard a loud couple of bangs, not just from the impact and smoke was coming out from the steering column and glovebox. Onstar called immediately and said that my airbags had deployed and they asked if I needed help. The concern is that the airbags fired but did not deploy.”
