Example complaints

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

“My daughter missed a curve in heavy fog and hit a tree head on at about 40-45 MPH. The driver side airbag failed to deploy. The impact was a few inches left of center and was such that it moved the engine block back into the cab of the pickup. It should have deployed.”
