Example complaints

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

“I had to transport a friend from a hospital and because of his surjury had to have him sit in the front passenger seat. I looked in the Driver manual to locate the passenger air bag shut off switch, there is not a switch to be found. The instruction in the Driver Manual states to place anyone having concerns to be seated in the rear. There is NO Shut-OUT switch.”
