Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I started the car and noticed that it smelled strange. I put it into reverse and started to back up when the passenger side airbag deployed, spiderwebbing the windshield and filling the cabin with a smoke that smelled intensely of the bad smell from before. There was no collision nor even contact with any thing else by the vehicle.”
