Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was hit by a large truck going 30mph and I was going 50mph. He hit the driver side along with the passenger side, all of the windows shattered, we spun three times and then hit again. I have photos of my car immediately after the crash. All of the police, fire, and emt personnel wondered why the airbags never went off. The front air bags would probably not have made a difference in the injuries, but the side one's would have definitely helped. Glass was everywhere.”
