Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle was struck at approx 35 MPH on the driver's side. The striking vehicle did not apply the brakes so the full force of the vehicle hit. The side airbags did not deploy, leaving me with a concussion as my head struck the driver's door window. The vehicle was in motion making a left turn on a green light on a city street. The striking vehicle ran the opposing light, causing the accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11402680, filed 2021-03, 12,000 miles“I keep getting a warning to service the Safety Restraint System. I have taken my car in several times to be fixed and have paid a lot of money and it is still not fixed. The dealership says they fixed it but then it happens again. This has been going on for about 3-4 months now. At this point I do not know what else to do. I feel this is a safety concern because I cannot drive down the road without the alerts going off in the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11587791, filed 2024-05“The contact owns a 2019 Cadillac XT5. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked in a parking lot.

The steering wheel inadvertently veered to the left. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle then drove on top of another vehicle that was parked in front. The contact stated that he was unable to control the vehicle until after the crash. The air bags did not deploy. …”
