Example complaints

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

“I was involved in an accident on 5/1/19 where a woman hit me from the side at 20-30 MPH from the side. The impact was pretty square on the front, driver-side quarter panel. None of the airbags deployed and I have a whiplash injury. When I saw the recall on some 2016 Lexus rx450h for a very similar issue, I thought I'd raise the concern and ask for an investigation to see if any should have deployed. I've included the accident report (poor quality scan but still readable), and photos. …”
