Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After I had stopped at a red light, I began to start a left turn, when I was impacted by a distracted driver on the driver's side. The other car hit me directly on the driver side front panel, crushing both doors, bending the front axle, and totaling my car. As a result of the impact, my head hit the window, and caused it to shatter, giving me a concussion.”
NHTSA complaint #11097157, filed 2018-05, 28,000 miles“I was rear ended by a driver traveling over 45mph while I was at a full stop. This impact slammed my vehicle into the truck infront of mine, and should have caused the airbags to deploy. Despite the onboard computer alerting me that they had, no airbags in the car deployed. There was however a distinct odor and white powder present, leading me to believe they may have attempted to.”
NHTSA complaint #11123230, filed 2018-08, 16,191 miles“I was rear ended on the freeway at a very high rate of speed. I was traveling at 65-70 MPH... The car that hit me was approximately traveling 85-90.. The impact sent me across the 2 and 1 lane in traffic.. No air bags deployed anywhere in the vehicle. However smoke from the bag filled the passenger space and the dash indicator lights , display a deployment had taken place. Again no bags deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10993652, filed 2017-06, 84,000 miles“I drove over a bump and the side air bags deployed ripping the roof covering off around the inside top of the car. I reported this to the dealer and they at refusing to cover the repair even though there is no visible damage to my vehicle aside from some light scratches along the front where I had turned too close to the curb in the past and it had scraped the front. My vehicle is still at the dealer and I am very frustrated they are attempting not to cover this repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11064504, filed 2018-01, 57,000 miles“My husband was traveling at approximately 50 m.p.h. He was looking in the rearview mirror. When he looked ahead, the SUV in front of him was stopped for the vehicle ahead to turn. By the time he saw the SUV was stopped, there was about 10-15 feet between our car and the SUV. He braked and tried to swerve to the side to miss the SUV but was unsuccessful. He slammed into the rear of the SUV. The SUV suffered minor damage. Our vehicle suffered significant front end damage and was later totaled. No airbags deployed in our car.”
