Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This is interrogative. My wife joined an accident in progress (no. 3 of 3 vehicles) becasue she couldn't stop in time. She was at 35 MPH steady, said she had applied full braking. The nyer was pitched down when it contacted the bumper of a s-10 pickup truck. We have sheet metal damage to the hood, left fender and everything above the bumper line, including AC coil, radiator, fan, etc. She was uninjured. Neither air bag deployed. The system check at engine start has always been exactly as described in the operator's handbook. My question is, shouldn't the airbags have deployed? …”
NHTSA complaint #755004, filed 2001-11“While driving at 5-6 MPH consumer tried to slow down and brakes were not working, vehicle accelerated and ran into a pole. Then, a few months later, consumer had the same acceleration problem, but vehicle did not run into anything. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.”
