Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was involved in a collision & was hit hard front passenger & side passenger. Was t boned at busy intersection. I was driving down a busy city street. My upper body/sternum/upper abdomen hit the steering wheel full force, my airbag did not deploy & seatbelt did not lock down in place immediately like it should have. Went by ambulance to hospital with sternal, ribs, & spinal injuries. I want to know why airbag did not deploy to protect me & why seatbelt did not lock down quickly enough so I would not hit steering wheel.”
NHTSA complaint #11129446, filed 2018-09, 63,000 miles“The vehicle idle control began misbehaving, whether stationary or in motion. The car constantly idled higher than it should, even after a throttle body replacement and fuel pump replacement. Now the car is riding worse than ever, with a lot of vibration in the steering column/brakes, which happens sitting still and worsens as the speed climbs. The windshield washer pumps (front and back) have both gone out. The suspension is horrible and despite new tires, balancing, rotation, alignments...brakes/rotors, you name it ... The car just doesn't drive very smoothly. …”
