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.
Myself, the driver, rear-ended another driver at a speed of 35-40mph. The driver slammed on his brakes and I had no time to react. The result is a totaled front end w/ $4000+ of repairs. The seat belt did not restrain me and the airbag did not deploy. The car will be totaled and I suffered extensive bruising because of this failure.
The consumer rear ended another motorist while driving at 45 mph. The frontal air bags failed to deploy upon impact. The driver sustained injuries when he hit the steering wheel. The passenger sustained injuries when she/he hit the dashboard. Both vehicles involved in the accident were totaled.
Driver lost control of vehicle at 60 mph. Vehicle ran off the road and hit a low concrete structure. Neither airbag deployed, consumer suffered a broken nose. Damage to vehicle was $ 5000.00
I was proceeding southbound on a major street at about 35mph. A pickup truck came out of a small side street and crossed my path going eastbound with the intent of turning left. My car broadsided the truck at the back of the drivers door and at the front of the truckbed. As I did not see the truck until the last moment, I only left about 3 feet of skid. Neither my driver airbag nor my passenger airbag deployed. It was determined that my car was a total loss due to extensive damage.
