Example complaints

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

“On july 17, 2013 I crashed my 2008 roadtrek 190 popular (Chevrolet EXPRESS 3500 chassis) in a roadside ditch. Fortunately no one was hurt but the driver-side airbag did not deploy. Neither did the passenger-side airbag but it may have been turned off. In any event, the seriousness of the crash suggests that there may have been a malfunction of the airbag. I have no intent to seek any damages from roadtrek or GM as I did not sustain any significant injury and was adequately restrained by my seatbelt. I am letting you know just in case this might be a problem on some of these vehicles. …”
