Example complaints

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

“I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, a larger gmc dually. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the other vehicle entered my lane at near or equal speed and struck me head on. I had time to react by stomping the brakes but I seemed to not slow down. I had no where to turn all possible lanes of avoidance were blocked with smaller cars. The airbags did not deploy... It is my understanding that by law cars/light trucks are required by law to have airbags if they are 1998 or newer. I understand a light truck to be up to 8,600 lbs gross weight with payload. …”
