Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The airbag light on the dash board would intermittently flash or come on and stay on for a while. We took it to a mechanic who told us the entire drivers side airbag assembly would need to be replaced. It would cost around $1,500. My daughter drives this vehicle so this is an important safety feature for us but for that amount of money it may be time for another vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10650887, filed 2014-10, 80,000 miles“I was driving on a main highway when a car pulled out directly in front of me. When we impacted the air bag deployed and broke my arm in half. My bone cut a main nerve on the outside of my dominant right arm. After 2 surgeries my nerve never repaired. There is no feeling in my last two fingers and they are drown in due to lack of nerve. My wrist will not bend back either due to all the metal holding my arm together.”
