Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had a front damaged car accident in 2016. I realized that none of airbags were deployed since I was asked by at fault driver's insurance attorney. I was driving on a local one way road and a car showed up in front of me all of a sudden. It was crossing in front of me as ignoring stop sign on his side. It was too close to avoid and brake was not helpful.”
NHTSA complaint #11301075, filed 2020-01, 7,000 miles“I was hit hard directly on side and side airbags didn't deploy. My vehicle was totaled. My vehicle was moving maybe 5 miles per hour and I was turning left.”
NHTSA complaint #10983019, filed 2017-05, 55,000 miles“I was traveling west on rt 202 (butler blvd) in jacksonville, fl. My speed was 65mph and I was in the middle lane. I was driving and my son, christopher, who is disabled was sitting in the middle row center in his wheelchair which was anchored to the floor by four tie-downs. A car trying to pass us in the outside left lane hit my vehicle in the drivers side rear and caused us to spin in the roadway. After we came out of the spin we hit the concrete barrier dividing the roadway. My vehicle was totaled with extensive damage to front and frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10959516, filed 2017-03, 43,000 miles“The airbag on/off indicator stays off even when an adult is sitting on the passenger seat. The issue is not there in my 2014 Toyota camry. The dealer koons Toyota verified that sensor is registering correct weight. The dealer states that Toyota does not tell them that at what weight the airbag should turn on. The dealer's test weight of 66lb on the seat did not turn it on. The dealer test report is attached. Thanks”
NHTSA complaint #10886060, filed 2016-07, 3,000 miles“My vehicle was recently stolen. It was recovered as a crashed abandoned vehicle by the glen ridge police department (case #19-20437). The vehicle suffered an apparent major frontal collision but the airbags failed to deploy (see images). I am reporting this failure for your investigative reference. I have no further details as it was not in my possession when the collision took place.”
