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.
"takata recall" I was recently in a car accident that was listed in the police report as a head on collision and not one airbag deployed. The impact as I was told was hard enough that the airbags should have deployed.
Instrumental panel/ gage cluster. All gages continue to fail spiking all over the place prior to failing. Air bag light continues to blink on then off randomly
When had the crash which was very hard loud and scary the air bags didn't deploy nor did the air bags on the side of seat. The crash was very serious and the electrical system and powertrain to windows.
Hit a deer at 70 mph on I-70 in Kansas. I hit it full force with the front end. Half of the deer went over, half the deer went under. Nothing left but guts. Front end on driver side depressed about a foot. Wife and I received whip lash, wife is worse. Baby was okay. The trailblazers front end was totaled. Airbags did not come out. GM stated that in order for the air bags to work in this model is the brakes have to be depressed 1/20th of a second prior to impact. This is hog wash. Brakes have nothing to do with the airbags. I do not care about the vehicle, my concerns are the safety features of this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext. While the contact was driving approximately 45 mph, both the driver and passenger side air bags deployed without impact. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where both air bags were being replaced. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the malfunction. The approximate failure mileage was 154,654.
