Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just bought this vehicle two days ago and now realized it loses power while driving (in-motion) and then jumps as if it wants to cut off. At the time, I was driving on a city street and as I tried to accelerate, the problem occurred. This is very dangerous and scary because it can cause a crash or cause other cars to rear-end it. Also, it says airbag needs servicing.”
NHTSA complaint #11255864, filed 2019-09, 136,300 miles“Low beam head lights are extremely dim can't see nothing past the hood of car, have tried replacing head lamps twice with no improvement, night driving can only be done with hi beam causing me to blind other drivers. I keep getting service air bag warning whenever a passenger is in the passenger side of the car took it to a dealership but they was unable to find the problem .”
NHTSA complaint #11034094, filed 2017-10, 56,000 miles“Hit head on by truck going approx. 45 MPH that swerved into my center turn lane. Front end demolished - car was totaled - but air bags did not deploy. Seat belt did not lock on impact. Side of my head hit driver's window or frame - was catapulted forward and caught in seat belt when it pulled out all the way, resulting in horrific and painful chest, abdomen and left leg injuries (soft tissue).”
NHTSA complaint #10732291, filed 2015-07, 60,013 miles“I was in a minor collision. Ran into the back of someone. My airbags didn't deploy and my engine immediately caught on fire and in a few minutes my whole care was on fire and destroyed. There was no known reason how or why the fire started.”
NHTSA complaint #10927215, filed 2016-11, 40,000 miles“I just brought this SUV sept. 2014. Last week I was going around a curve. The rear end swerved and the tires rolled over the curve. The air bags deployed and the car stopped, the car was towed to a Cadillac dealer.( weeks before I found out about the recall on the air bags, seat, suspension and seat belt.) so, when I told the adjustor about the recall he just brushed it off and said, it's not the recall. . I don't think the adjustor worked for an outside company. I need to get my car independently checked so I can find out if it was the recall items. …”
