Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was stopped at a red light when hit from behind with enough force to push me into the vehicle in front of me. This resulted in major damage to the front of my vehicle. Neither the driver or passenger airbags deployed. With the force of the impact I felt the airbags should have deployed. In addition, the drivers seat went into the full recline position because of the impact. I consider both of these failures.”
NHTSA complaint #10146653, filed 2006-01, 46,000 miles“While driving on a 2-lane highway travelling at approximately 65 MPH, an antelope ran out in front of us. My husband tried to avoid hitting the animal and lost control of the vehicle. We ended up airborn and drove off a 30 foot embankment. The car landed nose first on the ground. The airbags did not deploy. Thankfully, everyone escaped with only minor injuries. The car has been totaled, this all after only owning the vehicle two weeks. I feel that the airbags should have gone off. They are designed for low impact in frontal crashes. …”
