1992: “Takata. Ever since I've had this car. I have problems with the speed control, turn signals freeze while in use, transmission leaks and works in 2nd gear better than 1st gear, both back break shoes and bearings needs replaced, front cracked windshield, both side windows are broken and engine warning light stays on 24/7. All this is driving on streets and highways etc,.”

NHTSA complaint #11243992, filed 2019-08, 257,185 miles

1993: “While I was driving in fast lane on I-10, driver's side air bag exploded into my face. Was able to bring car under control and into left median until highway patrol cut out bag and guided me off freeway, where car was towed. There was no indication that my car hit anything, and subsequent inspection by my insurer and the insurer's repair facility, failed to disclose any damage to the car that would indicate a collision with an object or a road hazard. $1900 damage is to repair/replace air bag.”

NHTSA complaint #703150, filed 1999-02
