Example complaints

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

“My wife was driving a 2004 chevy Astro van approx. 35-40 MPH on a two-way street. Another driver from the opposite direction cut across into her lane and had a head-on collision. She suffered a broken wrist & bruised ribs. She had three of our children in their seats. They were shaken and had seatbelt bruises. The van was not drivable and was towed away. The police & the tow driver reported that the airbags did not deploy. We have some expectation that the airbags would have secondary role to minimize injuries. …”
