The damage was to the front end of my Outlander, needing to replace the bumper, hood, lights, A/C condenser & more. None of the 7 airbags in my car were deployed & none of the seatbelts locked. …”

“While driving the fcm, (front crash mitigation), and acc, (adapter cruise control), lights came on with message service required . I took the car to the dealer they could find nothing wrong. A month later they came on again, the dealer could find nothing wrong. The next time the lights came on it was airbag service required . I took the car to the dealer, they diagnosed the ecu going bad. Now, when a light comes on, which is often, I don't have any idea if something is really not working. They told me it would be a week to get the part, today they told me the part is on back order. …”

NHTSA complaint #10622322, filed 2014-08, 6,000 miles

“I rear-ended a car after they came to a complete stop at a green light on a road with a 50mph speed limit. I attempted to stop but in the rain my car hydroplaned, and I hit them. Upon impact my seatbelt did not lock up and my airbags didn't deploy despite the fact that I was going at least 20mph. I ended up hitting the steering wheel pretty hard and still have pain, spasms, and soreness.”
