Example complaints

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

“One of our 2002 Gmc pickups was involved in a frontal collision that was severe enough to bend the frame and total the truck but the air bags did not deploy. Due to the amount and type of damage I believe there is a problem. I contacted GM customer service but there did not seem to be any interest.”
