Example complaints

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

“Potential fatality / severe injury - roll bar is located too far forward and does not have adequate padding for drivers over 5' 10 tall. A relatively minor accident can easily become a fatality as a taller driver's head will impact the roll bar instead of the headrest. A retrofit providing additional padding is necessary.”

NHTSA complaint #705920, filed 1999-04
