Example complaints

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

“The light indicating airbag off for the passenger seat is frequently illuminated even when an adult (140 lb) passenger is sitting in the seat. The occurrence is approximately 10 percent of the time and occurs at any speed, even on the highway at 65 MPH. This error has persisted throughout the life of the vehicle (purchased new in 2010), but the dealerships we visited insist that the system complies with their electrical tests, even though we showed them photographs of the airbag off light taken by a passenger while sitting in this seat. …”
