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.
I was travelling at aproximately 55 mph. A full sized Silverado 4X4 pulling a horse trailer failed to stop at a stop sign and pulled out in front of me. I applied my brakes and hit hm in the driver door. My driverside airbag did not deploy. My wife was riding as a passenger. She was wearing her shoulder/seatbelt. It did not lock in place and hold her back. She was thrown forward into the dashboard. She received bruised ribs and a bruise on her forehead. The passenger side airbag had been turned off due to the fact that we sometimes Transport our grandchildren. We have contacted GM about this. We were told that the conditions were not right for airbag deployment or for the seatbelt to restrain! come on! I thought these things were supposed to be safety equipment!!!!!

While waiting for on coming trafic to clear so I could make a left turn into a driveway, a very loud bang came from the passenger side of the dash board. After I turned into the parking lot and stopped, I checked the outside of the truck and found nothing to be wrong, when I felt the dash board where the air bag is, the dash was very hot, I checked with a mechanic and he said the primer probably went off from the air bag.
