Example complaints

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

“My wife had just gotten home from work, having driven 17 miles in heavy traffic. I was just leaving the house as she pulled in to the driveway and she reversed back onto the street when the vehicle broke, literally. The engine cradle frame broke and collasped, breaking the right front axle pushing the right tire up against the fender. The vehicle stopped totally and could not be moved except by a tow truck. If this had happened on coors blvd just minutes earlier, theres no telling if my wife and others would be alive today. …”

“The right side frame member, where the lower control arm attaches broke away causing the tire and strut assembly to go into the fender, and pulled the cv joint apart at the transmission rendering the car undrivable, and unmovable. I was backing out of a parking space with the wheel turned to the left in the rain when I heard a loud bang and the car came to a stop, while banging continued. Then I turned the car off, and took a look, and saw that the right front tire into the fender and the bottom sticking way out. It could not be towed on a standard wheel kift tow truck.”

“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? …”
