Example complaints

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

“I was injured in an automobile crash, due to my airbags not deploying. The impact was certainly great enough for them to deploy, however the manufacturer denies that they operated incorrectly. I would expect an impact at 35-40 MPH would be enough to deploy an airbag and prevent certain injuries.”

“The srs warning (air bag) light on my Mercedes-Benz CLK320 stays on. The light was reset by a local mercedes dealership in 2007 but came back on 1 month later.”
