Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Thursday, april 12, 2018. Heading to work one morning on the interstate, the girl in front of me put on breaks (we were in the fast lane), so I put on my breaks. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the driver behind me not paying attention and going 50-55 MPH. I had enough time to brace myself before he hit me from behind which made me hit the person in front of me (I have video and pictures). Fortunately, my Tahoe held up pretty good and didn't crumble with the type of impact it had. My concern is my airbags did deploy but actually didn't. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084838, filed 2018-04, 40,000 miles“The right center row seat belt retracts slowly and not all the way leaving it loose hanging. No twists are found in the belt itself causing an obstruction to retracting.”
