Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was involved in a crash, I was cut off and rear ended a car going about 35 miles an hour. My airbags did not deploy, despite the fact that my car appears to be totaled, and was struck in the front end, which is when they should deploy. I now have pain in my neck, shoulders, and head, and am dizzy but unable to sleep because of vertigo.”
