Example complaints

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

“I was involved in an accident where I rear-ended another vehicle. I was going about 35 and my vehicle was imbedded in the bumper of the other vehicle. The tow truck had to pull the vehicles apart and there is about $7,500 in damage to my vehicle. I hit my knee on the dash and had bruising from the seat belt. My air bags didn't deploy which has me greatly concerned. I had someone that was highed by chrysler to come out and inspect the vehicle. Chryler sent me a letter that due to the deceleration the air bags were not activated.”
