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.
The first failure was at 4500 miles in the middle lane as car pulled infront and when I hit the brakes the car when into a skid and the steering wheel locked up at approx 40 mph.this defect did not crash the car. The second incident was at approx 70 on the free way as a car came through the triangle at a junction I hit the brakes the steering wheel cranked all the way to the right and locked up as did the braking system throwing me head on into a guard rail at approx 60. The air bags did not deploy as well. The following day at the car yard while the key was inserted by the technician the car said that airbags depleted need replacing.
"service air bag" warning light is on in instrument panel. Dealer has made three attempts to repair by using zip ties on specific electrical connections. Problem has not been resolved.
TL- the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that a truck crashed into the front driver side of the vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. In addition, the seat belts did not restrain the contact properly. The contact sustained neck injuries from the crash. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for repairs but was not inspected for the air bag deployment failure. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
