Example complaints

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

“For the past few months when I turn on my truck the airbag light turns on and stays on for a few hours stating that it needs service. It happens every few weeks and it can be very dangerous. If I were to be involved in a car accident the air bags may or may not deploy. I had taken it back to the dealership where I purchased the truck to take a look at it and they said it was ok, that I must of passed a bump too fast causing it to turn on, but it has been quite a while and it continues to do the same thing. I guarantee no bump would cause a air bag light to turn on and malfunction. …”
