Example complaints

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

“Traveling at 55mph going east-a truck with trailer was traveling west carrying those large round hay bales one of the hay bales fell off. The hay bale hit the pavement right in front of me and I was unable to avoid hitting the bale. There is extensive frontal damage, windshield smashed in continued on top of my vehicle damaging the roof. The driver and passenger door did not open- I had to kick the passenger door several times to be able to get it open just enough to get out of the vehicle. None of my airbags deployed and my seatbelt did not lock up. …”

“Front passenger seatbelt locks, and now it doesn’t allow the passenger to buckle up. In other words the passenger seat belt buckle does not work anymore. It is a safety hazard to my passenger.”
