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.
Vehicle was going 35mph on dry road. Front air bags did not deploy upon impact consumer's vehicle hit two vehicles, but only one head on. Front airbags on both sides did not deploy. Dealer and manufacturer were notified but the vehicle was totaled. The consumer's nose was severed from the steering wheel due to the air bag not deploying. Consumer states R/R seat belt retractor button on belt was broken and installed, also left front seat belt was replaced, and sun roof molding was loose and falls on consumer?S head.
Seat belt did not work ( retract) during a frontal car accident. In addition, the air bags did not open either. The car accident was a severe accident.
Rear belt loses tension when you install a baby carseat after pulling the shoulder belt in order to create tension on the lapbelt to hold the carseat tight. What happens is that there is a plastic piece that goes in the buckle connector, and when you apply pressure it breaks appart, giving no tension to the belt and the car seat can easily move forward. Please look at this pictures I took to show you clearly ww.vegena.net/jpg/neon1.jpg, www.vegena.net/jpg/neon2.jpg and....neon3.jpg, neon4.jpg, I fixed it temporaly by putting together the 2 plastic pieces and applying soft pressure so that they don't break loose. I applied this kind of "normal" pressure to my Dodge Caravan and the belt tighted great. My suggestion is to replace the buckle connector with the same kind that the Caravan 1997 uses. Thanks
