Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“One week after I bought this vehicle brand new, the curtain airbag cover on the driver's side and the passenger side started coming separated from the headliner creating a gap where my airbag can be seen. I took it to the dealership and was told there was going to be a recall but I never got one in the mail. Now I am told by the dealership there is not a recall and I have passed my warranty of 36000 miles and would have to pay to have it repaired. My concern is in case of an accident the airbag won't deploy as it's supposed to. …”
