This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

There were two different times my Acura 2013 ILX was involved in two different accidents and the airbags didn-??t deploy. 1. Back on 4/2018 brakes didn-??t respond properly, then ceased to another vehicle and airbags didn-??t deployed. No major injuries, but high bills. 2. January 2019, my husband was rear ended by an Audi, was sent to the opposite side of the street, car was total loss, airbags never deployed. He suffered MAJOR injuries, couldn-??t walk for two months, used a walker after that for over two years, suffered dislocated discs, neck and his whole body is not the same anymore. Can-??t tell anymore how many procedures he has been through.
The brake fail stopping the car while driving off the highway via exiting ramp, ramp traffic was bumper to bumper slow at the moment and my car just accelerate from a stop, the car slide ahead and hit the front car.
