Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The road was dry and bare. I felt a right rear skid (? Black ice ). I tried to turn steering wheel to correct the skid and it was locked. It jerked out of my hands, the engine roared and the car flew to the left across the road into a large tree. I had no control over the steering wheel. On impact of the tree, there was no balloon with air bag deployment, only pungent fumes and white flecks. The car was towed and totaled.”
