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.
Traveling at approximately 25 mph, the fuel tank straps snapped and the fuel tank dropped to the ground in the vehicle. The driver, unaware of what happened, heard a noise as she was approaching a stop light. The noise ceased after stopping. The driver then made a left turn when the light changed at which time the noise continued. The driver pulled the vehicle into the next available parking lot and upon exiting the vehicle, smelled gas and found the forward part of the fuel tank on the ground with gasoline leaking. No recall notice was received by the driver or the spouse of the driver at their home address in spite of being told later, after the incident, that several were sent.

On 12/12/06 a lady turned left in front of me causing me to broadside her. I was doing approx 40 mph at the time. All her air bags deployed. None of mine did, even though the entire impact of the accident was across my front end. Additionally my fuel cutoff switch did not function. When the vehicles came to rest, and I recollected my wits, I realized the engine was still running and at close to full throttle.
