Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In 2005 while entering onto the highway going home from some personal appointments a small car hit our full size van from behind and caused us to flip over and roll over 8 times and slide at least 2 city blocks before it stopped. We were not even doing the speed limit when we were hit. The front window shattered and glass was in our eyes but our airbags did not deploy. We were stuck upside down my seat belt was stuck and my husband had to pull me out of the driver side window. I had to treat for tmj problems, stress and trauma in my neck and back for a few years and I still have some issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11112744, filed 2018-07, 73,000 miles“Integrated child seat failed. The consumer stated a recall had been issued. When the consumer contacted the manufacturer they agreed to pay a portion of the repair, but later they rescinded the offer.”
NHTSA complaint #10083636, filed 2004-09, 66,000 miles“I was driving on a highway when I was rearended. I was going about 35-40 MPH and the person who hit me was estimated to be going 50 MPH. I was wearing a set belt. The seat belt did not work. There was no sensation of being held back and no shoulder injury. My face hit the steering column and I suffered multiple facial fractures and cuts, requiring 25 stitches. I have permanent nerve damage on my face and lips.”
NHTSA complaint #707275, filed 1999-06“The child seat failure we experienced can easily go undetected. The cable connecting the latch plate to the seat belt retractor mechanism has broken which prevents the seat belt from tensioning and restraining our child. I f the driver does not have detailed understanding of how the seat belt should work the driver will be lulled into a false sense of security. When chrysler was contacted they offered to pay for half of the repair. I believe this is a design flaw that should be repaired by the manufacturer. …”
NHTSA complaint #754134, filed 2001-11“When removing child from the integral child seat harness retracted up around the child's neck, choking the child. Parent had to cut the strap to remove the child. A dealership was called about the problem. Owner was told van was not included in recall, and would not be serviced free of charge. The problem has not been corrected at this time.”
