Example complaints

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

“We question why none of the 4 airbags (2 sides, driver or passenger) deployed in a crash that had the 2010 Scion XB airborne. And the vehicle rolled resting upright on the front of the car. The injuries were predominantly seatbelt bruises and a fractured kneecap. The multiple impacts during rolling may have been too low to initiate an airbag deployment or it could indicate a problem. What should be done to determine whether the response was appropriate? The car will likely be totaled by state farm. …”

NHTSA complaint #10315040, filed 2010-03, 5,000 miles

“Takata recall I received a recall notice back in june 9, 2016 and to date have had no further updates or information that this will be fixed. The only thing indicated was do not have a passenger sit in the front seat. This is almost next to impossible as I have to take my mother to places as well as other family members. This is unacceptable and I want this potential death hazard repaired.”

NHTSA complaint #10918826, filed 2016-10

“Takata airbags. I have been waiting over 6 momths for word on when my airbags will be repaired. I have had to make numerous cross state trips with my kids in this possible death trap. I called today and was told there was no announced date for repair as of yet. This is beyond a reasonable amount of time for repairs and want a solution asap as I have to drive my car and transport passengers.”

NHTSA complaint #10935445, filed 2016-12

“Takata recall airbag recall issued may 23, 2016 which is 6 months ago. When is my car going to be fixed? What can I do to get my car fixed? How long am supposed to wait? If no fix in sight can I return car to toyota for a refund?”

NHTSA complaint #10926309, filed 2016-11

“Takata recall this has been going on for years. My son is driving this car now. This specific recall was announced in may 2016, but toyota has failed to make a remedy available. This means my son, and his passengers, are at risk of a deadly airbag explosion and toyota must be made to actually implement the recall remedy immediately. We can't afford to park the vehicle until toyota gets around to it, or turn it into a one-person vehicle, when we paid for a 4-person vehicle.”
