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.

While driving 25 mph vehicle stalled. This caused the consumer to hit a tree and the front air bag did not deploy. Consumer sustained minor injuries. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Air bags did not deploy in a nearly head-on crash at an estimated speed of 60 mph. Relative speed may have been less, because vehicle which this van hit was sliding backwards in the same direction of travel as the van. However, closing speed had to be significant to cause it to be damaged beyond repair within its $13,000 value. Vehicle was a total loss. We have owned this vehicle since new, no modifications have been made to it, and it had never been in an accident before this. Digital photos of damaged vehicle are available if desired.
My vehicle was struck head on by an oncoming auto traveling at 45 mph. My vehicle was traveling at 35 mph. The impact was at 12:00. My airbag did not deploy nor did the passenger side air bag. I was 3 point belted at the time of the collision. The other vehicle was a Chevrolet berreta 2 door automobile.
Consumer was traveling about 35mph on a side street and another vehicle veered into him by crossing over into the meridian strip. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed, and more than one person was injured.
