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.
: the contact stated the airbags did not deploy when the vehicle rear ended another vehicle. This occurred at 60 mph while braking. There was a police report taken at the scene. Although the seat belt was worn, the contact sustained 7 broken ribs. The vehicle was taken to a body shop and the front end is being repaired. The dealership determined the airbags did not deploy because the impact was too high on the vehicle.
A woman in front of me slammed on her brakes so I slammed on my brakes, my brakes locked and I crashed into her, head on, going approximately 35-40 mph. My air bags did not deploy.
This truck was involved in an accident. The estimated speed of impact was 40 mph striking a vehicle which was sitting still turning. Another vehicle behind her struck the rear of the truck. The truck spinned and pointed in the opposite direction going over a ditch. Neither front air bags deployed upon either impact with additional to a tire bursting. All three vehicles were classified as totaled.
On the above mentioned date, this vehicle was involved in a frontal collision. No serious injuries resulted although the driver of this vehicle was treated and released for bruising in the chest area. Both driver and passenger were wearing seat belts. Even though the damage was $12,800, entirely to the front end of the vehicle, neither air bag deployed. I can supply photos and damage estimate report if needed. I am very happy that no serious injuries resulted, but I am not comfortable that vthis system is safe or operable. If the damage almost resulted in a total loss, all in the front end, and the airbags did not deploy, I am not sure that they are on the vehicle, or are operable.
