Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Stopped at red light with a dodge ram 1500 in front of me. I was rear ended by a car (toyota rav 4) going approximately 35 MPH. I did turn my steering wheel to try and get into the turn lane to avoid the collision but did not have enough time. The car rear ended me and then my car was pushed into the truck in front of me. My car sustained damage to both the front and back. My head hit the side window jam (between the windshield and door) and then my nose and mouth hit my steering wheel. I was wearing my seat belt but still my face was injured and my left leg hit the steering column. …”
