Example complaints

“I broadsided a pick up truck that ran a stop sign. Enough damage was done that my vehicle had to be towed and likely will be written off by the insurance company as totaled. I was diagnosed with blunt trauma to the chest wall with contusions. My airbag never deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10525157, filed 2013-07, 160,000 miles“Takata recall informed by letter on july 2015 that if my airbag deploys in a crash it may kill me or my passenger. It is now 01/17 and still not fixed. Why would you inform the public then take 1.5 years plus to fix problem? I understand how large the recall is but over a year for no repairs or any further communication of any kind. You all should be fired and you are completely worthless. …”

NHTSA complaint #10979765, filed 2017-04, 78,000 miles“Takata recall received notice and was told air bags would be replaced but would not check dash light sensor thier would be a charge for it.
