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 20-30mph, rear-ended the car in front of me. Damage to the interior of the car - side panel where the seat belt disappears into broke apart from the side frame causing me to come within 5 to 6" of the steering wheel and a bruise on the back of my left arm. I normally sit anywhere from 12 to 14 inches from the steering wheel. Damage to the exterior of the car - crushed radiator and bumper and grill assembly demolished; car was totaled. Air bags did not deploy upon impact.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision on driver'sside at approximately 25-30 mph. Upon impact, both air bags did not deploy. Dealer/manufacturer were not notified at this time.
While anohter consumer was sitting in the vehicle and putting the key into the ignition to start, the driver side air bag deployed, and the passager sidealso deployed. The consumer's windshield cracked.
