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.
Consumer read about a recall of an airbag defect, consumer contacted dealership but was informed that vehicle was not included in recall due to the vehicle identification number.
I was involved in an accident where a vehicle pulled in front of me and I T-boned them at approx. 50-55 mph. Neither the front driver or passenger air bags deployed. Said vehicle now totalled. Contacted Chrysler, filed a claim. They sent a "special investigator" that tried to tell both the body shop owner (who was on scene of accident) and my husband that the accident happened differently than it actually did. The investigators contact at Chrysler, roy porterfield, then explained to me that he thought the accident happened differently than it did. He told me that the airbags weren't supposed to go off unless it is a full frontal impact. This accident was a full frontal impact. I hit the steering wheel in said accident and after three weeks am still in pain and not fully able to return to work.
While driving at unknown speed a tractor trailer made a sudden stop and ajeep rearended the vehicle. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed, driver suffered bruised arm. Damage to vehicle unknown.
Consumer states vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 50 mph, however only the passgener air bag deployed. The manufacturer was contacted. There was one injury in this accident.
While traveling at 35 mph, another driver traveling at the same speed came across in front of consumer's lane and struck front of consumer's vehicle head-on. Upon impact, none of airbags deployed.
Vehicle was involved in a direct frontal collision at 30mph. Upon impact air bags did not deploy causing minor injuries to the driver. Vehicle has been inspected by an investigator from Chrysler. It was determined that impact was not hard enough to deploy the air bags. A recall has been issued on the vehicle make and model; however, owners notification has not been sent.
While involved in a significant accident, the air bags never deployed when they should have. The other vehicle involved did deploy. This is obviously a safety problem.
My son hit a 50ft tree head on and the air bags did not deploy. He and his passenger were both injured and Chrysler is telling me that he wasn't going fast enough or hit hard enough to deploy air bags. Passenger's head broke windshield and my son's tooth is loosened by hitting steering wheel. The front end frame of Jeep is bent. Not hard enough?
