Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was in an accident and I was hit from behind and my car went flying into the guard rail at about 35 miles per hour head on and my air bags did not deploy. I was sent to the hospital.”
NHTSA complaint #10161251, filed 2006-07, 61,700 miles“Takata recall is not being done fast enough. This recall began over a year ago in january 2016. We have yet to receive a letter telling us to schedule an appointment for repair. The recall says it is dangerous and to have it done as soon as possible yet according to their schedule...we are not even close to being able to do it in over a year. We need to get to work in this vehicle every day. Unacceptable.”
