Example complaints

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

“During heavy rains, I noticed some water leaking through the A pillar where the air bag is housed. I am concerned that the water may damage the air bag overtime. More importantly, if the air bags are deployed in low temperature (when the water becomes ice), it may create great safety problems.”

NHTSA complaint #11586465, filed 2024-05

“Upon delivery of my 2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks from the dealer, I noticed the airbag case near roof on front passenger was cut/filed down to get the bolt secured on the end piece. The driver’s side is not installed in his manner. Upon questioning the dealership when I picked up my Bronco, I was told “You should be happy that you got your order! Don’t worry about an imperfection!!!!” I am attaching pictures of the front airbag cases on both sides.”
