Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on a two lane highway, fm 185. I was driving northeast while the other driver was somewhat stopped heading west, trying to turn south onto cattle drive. The other driver was stopped at an intersection awaiting to turn left. The other driver turned left in front of me as I was headed straight. The initial impact was driver's front side and then down the drivers side door. We hit, and then my vehicle did a 180 degree turn which turned my vehicle around facing my initial path of direction. My airbags did not deploy. I had curtain side airbags, driver, and passenger air bags as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #10478584, filed 2012-10, 90,000 miles“2006 Ford Expedition (law enforcement package) with steel wheels and approx. 120,000 miles; wheel separation (cracked along weld). Prior to the failure, this vehicle was used daily for routine law enforcement patrol duties. We have had this issue on several 2006 expeditions. Upon learning of the potential for the wheel failure, we have implemented procedures to inspect the wheels for cracks and other damage regularly. In all cases, there have been no obvious warning signs before failure. This problem was discovered when the officer noticed a flat tire prior to starting his shift for the day. …”
