Example complaints

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

“I was turning through a left bend on a residential road at approximately 45 MPH. Posted speed 40 MPH, when the rear axle split at the drivers side hub. This caused me to spin around and crash between a power pole and a tree. My air bags never deployed even with frontal impact and both side door impacted. We walked away with minor whiplash and a few bumps here and there, but the van was totaled with less than 31,000 miles on it and it was well maintained.”
