Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On oct 25 of last year we were involved in a accident where we hit a car broadsided doing about 30 MPH causing considerable damage to our car, both my wife and myself had terrible whiplashes. And I believe that some of our pain could have been prevented if the air bags would have deployed which they did not do. We were on 4 lane divided road going through the town of chiefland fl. …”
NHTSA complaint #11055507, filed 2017-12, 35,000 miles“Recall was performed, but the part was replaced with a non color matching interior black hose over the cable. This hose, which is not protected, will get brittle and crack over time to expose the cables, which will cause the cable to rust. Also, children will be able to play with it causing damage. Pets will be able to chew, scratch or tear it. I can foresee another recall on this issue.”
