Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I am unable to use my 2010 Compass to transport my family because of fear the passenger airbag is dangerous. Since no remedy is available, what am I to do?? I must have transportation. How many deaths must occur before FCA makes a cash settlement so I can replace my car? How long must american consumers be at risk for the lives of passengers? Fca is legally responsible. I cannot afford to keep renting a vehicle.”
