Example complaints

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

“The air bags on this car failed to deploy from a bad car accident. My car was hit near the right front from a person that ran a red light. The front end damage was horrible to say the least as to where the insurance adjuster said to me that the car has to be totaled. Extensive frame damage from this accident and driver and passenger air bad never deployed for some unknown reason. The consumer owns another vehicle same make/model and questions if the vehicle is safe to drive due to the previous vehicle failing.”
