Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My son rear ended a semi-tractor trailer truck in a snow storm last week. He was wearing his seat belt. Air temps previous week were in the -20 to -40 range. Temperature at time of accident was -15. I raise this as indicated below. My concerns are: 1. The air bag did not deploy. There was $6000 damage to our 2004 chevy k2500 crew cab pick-up to include grill, radiator, both quarter panels, hood, bumper and forward engine components. The impact speed was estimated at 25 MPH. That should have deployed the bag. …”
NHTSA complaint #10056511, filed 2004-02, 114,000 miles“My husband craig was in collided head on into the side of another vehicle doing about 35 to 40mph. He hit the front hard enough to total the front end of the truck and shove the engine back several inches. The frame is also bent. We believe the truck will be qualified as totalled. Dispite the force of the impact, the air bags did not deploy. Craig had his seat belt on so was only bruised and sore after the accident. We are conserned with the airbag failure. What if there had been a passenger or cercumstances would have required them?”
NHTSA complaint #753484, filed 2001-10“The GM recall came out in may, 2016, it is now january 2018 and still no remedy. They have been building more new vehicles for 7 more model years, what airbags are they using in them? And now they stand to get millions of dollars from takata. Who is helping the consumer here? This makes no sense. There needs to be an investigation into why the airbags cannot be replaced in a more timely manner.”
