Example complaints

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

“My truck is well maintained , at approx 40,300 miles, my service air bag light came on for no apparent reason. I drove for a short time knowing that my air bags were disabled. A friend and I located an impact sensor that was bad. I believe that it was a safety problem and should have been corrected by GM.”
