Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on i10 west near mobile, al at night. I heard a loud pop near the rear of the vehicle and feel it lift into the air and start bouncing uncontrollably. The seatbelt engaged and I was worried for my 10 month old in the backseat. I had to come to a complete stop to regain control. A passerby stopped and said it looked like the car lifted 2 feet in the air. After restarting the car multiple times the air suspension has not recallibrated. My back and neck are sore. I called my fiance to meet myself and the baby so we could get home. I was not going to risk shaken baby syndrome. …”
NHTSA complaint #11204274, filed 2019-04, 184,000 miles“Dramatic explosive failure of the right adaptive suspension strut airbag while vehicle was standing in the driveway with the engine on. The vehicle was towed to a dealership service department where the strut was replaced and the failed part was returned to mbusa for inspection. I have high quality digital photos of the incident while the vehicle was still in the driveway, if NHTSA would like them, but unfortunately not of the removed, damaged strut.”
