Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving along, maybe 20-30 MPH and driver side airbag deploys for no reason (side, not steering wheel airbag). . No crash, no impact, just driving straight and, boom! My left ear is ringing and my left arm is probably bruised.”
NHTSA complaint #11323899, filed 2020-05, 174,183 miles“Takata recall: I received a recall notice in march 2016. The Saab customer assistance center continues to tell me the airbag replacement is not available and I should not worry because there have been no accidents with Saab vehicles. However, I own other vehicles with the same recall, and those manufacturers have been able to obtain the replacement.”
