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.
Fell asleep at wheel, crashed at speed of 60-65 mph, hit embankment first and then 24" diameter tree plus other smaller trees, front of vehicle compressed approx. 38 inches including bumper, never applied brakes due to sleeping, at impact driver's chest hit steering wheel and head hit dash, airbag never deployed, vehicle totaled and driver hospitalized with head/chest trauma
While driving at approximately 45mph with cruise control engaged but not set, experienced sudden acceleration, engine overpowered brakes, to avoid collision steered into ditch, vehicle flipped over end, then rolled twice side ways, no airbag deployment, no prior warning, after accident, shoulder/lap belt remained latched, but pulled all the way out, allowing to impact with interior.
Driving vehicle at 30 mph, fell asleep at wheel, lost control, hit stop pole dead center, driver's air bag did not deploy; broke & dislocated shoulder; wore seat belts.
Going uphill, blanked out and crashed into a tree, the air bag did deploy but driver was injured. Does not know if she has an air bag problem. Vehicle is in for estimate and repair.
