Example complaints

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

“2006 Cadillac STS does not set air bag to on when a person who weighs less than 103 pounds sits in the passenger seat. While the air bag is off, the seat belt indication does not work. Cadillac refuses to fix the problem, even though it has worked correctly for the past 17 months. My wife weighs about 100 pounds.”
