Example complaints

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

“The airbags in my EXPRESS 1500 did not deploy after I skidded out on a highway to avoid a 18 wheeler. The van was totaled so nothing was done to correct it but with no airbags it LED to a broken shoulder and some ribs from the steering wheel. I hit the jersey barrier going directly straight at it at about 50-60mph.”
