Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving home on the interstate when traffic stopped ahead of me. It was raining pretty hard and I was not able to stop and I hit a minivan that was in front of me. (there were 40 - 50 other vehicles involved in this incident, but my piece of the greater wreck only involved myself and the minivan.) I do not know how fast I was going when I made contact, but it was fast enough to cause $16,000 of damage to the front end of my truck. …”
NHTSA complaint #762103, filed 2002-05“My Ford truck was impacted at 55 miles an hour head-on. I know of at least four other people personally, whose Ford airbags did not been employed on their trucks during collision. Yet I see no reports on the ntsa as far as as complaints go. I know that there's a problem and I have a feeling that you do too wand it's not been reported. I intend on contacting my congressman about the NHTSA's lack of recognition in this problem. My career was ended by a 55 miles an hour head-on impact in my Ford truck. Have seen no such report or complaints about airbags on your web site.”
