Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down the road and the car just shut off all at once. I immediately put emergency flashers on and crank it up only for it to do the same thing 3 or 4 more times before it starts to drive normal as if nothing ever happened. This happens while I am driving down the street, turning or whenever it feel like cutting off.”
NHTSA complaint #11220718, filed 2019-06, 121,000 miles“I was hit from behind on freeway by drunk driver and pushed into side wall on highway. In the process my seatbelt unlocked and none of the air bags deployed even though he hit me going close 100mph.*dt*jb*dt the consumer provided photos.”
NHTSA complaint #11362722, filed 2020-10, 48,000 miles“Seat belt won't release when belted. My 4 month old 2006 Chrysler 300 decided that it would not release the seat belt when the red release button was pushed. It would take 2-10 presses for it to release. It was replaced under warranty without incident, but a coworker mentioned his minivan was doing the same thing (had not repaired it yet), and I wanted to make sure this was being watched. In an emergency, this could be a real problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10142638, filed 2005-11“The contact stated the right rear passenger shoulder belt of the vehicle was unlatched by a child passenger restrained in a child safety seat. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the rear shoulder belt was functioning as designed which is to lock into place when brake pressure was applied. The manufacturer was alerted.”
NHTSA complaint #10176160, filed 2006-12, 3,000 miles“The contact stated while traveling various speeds, the rear seatbelt did not restrain the child safety seat tightly. The child was able to get out from under the seatbelt. The lap and shoulder belt did not properly secure the child. The service dealer was contacted, who suggested that the manufacturer be notified. The manufacturer was contacted, and expressed that the seat belt would tighten when the brakes were applied. The contact disagreed because the child would be thrown forward if the brakes were applied while the child was not restrained properly. …”
