Example complaints

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

“Called Porsche dealership to find out how to manually turn off the passenger airbag in 2003 Boxster S. I was told that a Porsche manufacturer child safety seat was needed to be installed and then the seat belt would be buckled into that. This device would then turn off the passenger airbag. I inquired about the size of this seat and was informed that it would fit a child up to 5 years of age. I told them that the law requires that a child 12 and under must not be seated with an airbag. Also an elderly person or someone who recently had surgery would also not want to be seated with an airbag. …”
