Example complaints

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

“While driving on the highway my vehicle ran over a spare trailer tire that had fallen off another vehicle. My vehicle almost cleared it but the tire just barely lodged underneath in the undercarriage,just past the front tires. Even though there was no front collision or sudden reduction in speed; the airbags deployed rendering the vehicle undriveable. This is a flaw and safety issue. While the vehicle did sustain some damage to the undercarriage, there was no need for airbag deployment and doing so exacerbated an already hazardous situation. …”
