Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At about 70 MPH on the fwy. I swerved left to avoid a collision, ABS caused steering to tighten, I was unable to straighten, so I pulled harder to the right. I skidded right, hitting another vehicle with my right front at about 50mph. The srs air bags failed to deploy. I continued to slide to 180 degrees. Rolling backwards, I hit the center divider with the right rear bumper at about 35 MPH. The impact caused my seat back to collapse (recline), although I was wearing a seatbelt. I was ejected and slammed the back of my head into the ceiling of the car. I was hospitalized. …”
