Example complaints

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

“I was driving this evening on a city street when my side airbags deployed. My passenger amd driver airbags however did not. When my side airbags deployed it startled me and I hit a curb messing up my alignment. This was incredibly unexpected and could've been a lot worse.”

NHTSA complaint #11383453, filed 2020-12, 128,509 miles

“The airbag light began coming on at random times and now remains on. I took it to my mechanic and was told that the entire passenger seat module had to be replaced at the cost of approx. $1,000.00. With this current malfunction, if I were to be involved in an accident with a passenger, the passenger's airbag would not deploy. This is a safety issue that should be covered/fixed by the manufacturer.”

“I have two 2007 Saturn vehicles, a VUE and an ion the air bag light comes on periodically. I took the VUE to a dealer and they said the sensor was bad and wanted to charge about $500.00 to fix it. The ion has the same problem but I haven't taken it in to be checked. It looks to me like there is a problem with the 2007 saturns and should be fixed by GM.”

“The air bag light comes and goes . Then when driving down the freeway the car just up and died. Had to restart it. I have also had it not pick up speed when I push the peddle . After rams drop then I can pick up speed this is something I have had going on for a while. No one can find out why.”

NHTSA complaint #10607428, filed 2014-07, 81,000 miles

“My air bag light has come on numerous times in the past year when my gas goes down below a half tank. Steering becomes a bit more stiff when the light is on. It does eventually go out. When I am in and out of the car several times throughout the day the light will all of a sudden come on. My brakes act strangely when the light is on. I have had my brakes done so I know they are okay. It worries me that the airbag just randomly comes on.”
