Example complaints

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

“Got in my car and when I started the vehicle the air bag light along with the traction control indicator light came on, took it to a dealer to see what the issue was and was told it is the restraint control module and to replace it will cost 900.00. This is obviously a faulty part and should be covered as it directly controls the sir bags and the seat belts. So because I do not have 900.00 laying around I g=have to hope I am not in a collision until I can come up with the ridiculous amount of money to replace a plug in module that costs less than 100.00 to manufacture.”
