Example complaints

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

“Hit a pot hole in my Trailblazer as and my airbags deployed, I believe it is a safety issue that they deployed without an impact of any kind, body panels are all fine and in good shape but the bump jard the airbag sensor enough that it deployed them. This in my eyes is a huge problem and could be a big risk for someone because the airbags are malfunctioning.”

NHTSA complaint #11240214, filed 2019-07, 158,000 miles

“Takata recall I was involved in an accident that did over $9,000 damage to my front end of vehicle. The airbags did not inflate. This was on a city street, and both vehicles were moving. Also had a power window motor go out. I understand that this might be involved in a recall of window motors that could be causing fires.”

“I had my cruise set on 55 MPH and was hit head on by vw jetta pulling out toward my vehicle, then forced to left into a telephone pole. Airbags didn't deploy, and received broken sternum. Don't know if seatbelt injured me, or if the seatbelt didn't lock on 2nd impact and possibly hit the steering wheel.”

“A vehicle was stopped in front of me and I rear ended them. I was going around 44-55 MPH. After I hit the other car from behind I crossed 2 lanes of traffic and went thru a pretty deep ditch. The air bags did not deploy at all. I sustained a concussion., several head lacerations and a fractured lumbar spine.”

NHTSA complaint #10715742, filed 2015-05, 120,000 miles

“Our side airbags deployed without us hitting anything. There was no pothole or any curb or anything obstructing our path. We were just driving along and the airbags deployed all on their own. Why has the 2007 chevy Trailblazer not been recalled. We spent $8,000 getting the car repaired.”
