Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata airbags: knocked unconscious. After turning right onto a street & accelerating to about 20 MPH over about 150 yards, I hit a car that was stopped in the street. I had my seatbelt on. The airbag knocked me unconscious for at least 10 seconds. (I weigh 122 lbs & I'm 5 ft 3.5 in.) I didn't realize I'd been knocked out: I looked down to see a partially inflated airbag. I didn't realize I' been unconscious or that my eyeglasses had been knocked off. Based on what I saw, I thought the airbag hadn't fully inflated. …”
NHTSA complaint #11058151, filed 2018-01, 38,494 miles“No matter where I park rodents are finding ways to get into my car. I do not keep food in the car and I have done several different things to prevent them getting in. Including moving my car around to places other than my designated covered parking spot. My dealer has told me to piss off. As has Toyota, but it would appear that Toyota switched over to more environmentally friendly insulation materials in recent years. I purchased this 2012 Toyota camry brand new. …”
NHTSA complaint #10592353, filed 2014-05, 30,000 miles“Vehicle was involved in an accident but no airbags deployed even at speed of approximately 45 MPH. My vehicle t-boned another vehicle that illegally and neglectfully crossed my way. My vehicle's front was was damaged, from middle part all the way to the driver side part. Bumper, hood, driver side fender, front frame metal, and other parts were needed to be replaced. All those damages and not a single airbag deployed causing more injury to occur....updated 12/29/15 updated 2/23/2016 updated 04/24/18”
NHTSA complaint #10783575, filed 2015-10, 63,000 miles“On 1/8/13 I was going down highway at 60 MPH and I noticed passenger side air bag off light was on ,with an adult in passenger seat. I took to dealer and they said it checked ok. On 12/23/13 I was on highway at 60 MPH and I noticed passenger side air bag off light was on ,with an adult in passenger seat once again I took it to the dealer,and they said it checked ok. I am concerned that I could be involved in a crash and the passenger ( my wife age 75 ) could be seriously injured or killed because the passenger air bag didn't function as it was designed too.”
NHTSA complaint #10557975, filed 2013-12, 6,319 miles“The car was in a major accident, over $12,000 front end damage in a front end collision. A car pulled in front of our car from a side street. The air bags did not inflate which is what is prompting this inquiry.”
