Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving east on interstate 10 in pensacola, florida. A vehicle traveling west lost control and came across the sloped grassy median, overturned an slid across my traffic lane, causing me to crash into their roof. My odometer says at the point of impact I was only traveling 48 MPH. Once I realized I was alive, I was in awe that the airbag did not deploy. I spoke to a manager at Isuzu in california. He requested the VIN number and some other personal information and said if the insurance company adjuster saw any manufacturer defects, then the insurance company would contact Isuzu. …”
