Example complaints

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

“On november 12,2018 I was on the highway doing 65 MPH when I was rear ended by a hit and run driver that seemed to be doing full speed, and I say that because I never heard any screeching brakes behind me. The impact totaled my car, with the majority of the damage to the trunk. The impact made my car spin around and at some point my front bumper hit something, but no airbags were deployed whatsoever. …”
