NHTSA complaint #11768150, filed 2026-09“I took my car to the dealership twice due to the CarPlay not working, screens going black, rattling noises, and the transmission shuddering, jerking, and jumping.

NHTSA complaint #11766842, filed 2026-09“I was in a car accident where all of my airbags deployed. The seat airbag deployed, and the deflation vents were facing me. It melted my polyester shirt into me and burned my the skin across my ribs on my left side (nearest to the door). I was not aware of the location of the vents in the airbag until during the accident. This could be an issue for shorter people, who might have the airbags deploy closer to their face. I went to the hospital for the pain I was feeling in my ribs and difficulty breathing (some of which came from this airbag).”
