Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just noticed there was an airbag recall on my vehicle, I did not get notice of this recall. I was in a recent accident and everyone seem shocked that my airbags did not deploy due to the damages to my car. Additionally, I am having to add air to my tires weekly as soon as I add air then I get another warning that my tires need more air. The sensor did not respond as my onstar services did not get it to respond as the service is set up to do. I have changed climate from a cold(pa) to a warmer (ga) and still have the same problem.”
