Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Shortly after acquiring this car, an airbag light appeared on the dashboard after my sister adjusted the passenger side seat. The airbag indicator showed that it was off afterward, despite my sister being adequate weight to require the airbag. Continued problems ensued when the seat would show that it was occupied (airbag on and seatbelt chime when unbuckled, even though there was no one in the seat). Now this happens sporadically, and it is unknown whether the airbag will be operational or not whenever I start the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11473147, filed 2022-07“Front seat head restraints (headrests) are tilted forward so aggressively that driving ability is impaired, and significant ergonomic discomfort results from vw's interpretation of this NHTSA requirement. Please adjust your requirements to reflect a better balance between safety and drivabilty. Thank you.”
