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.
During a front-end, low-speed collision, I hit my head on the steering wheel. My seatbelt did not properly restrain me in my seat, and the airbags did not deploy. Prior to the accident, I brought a problem to my dealers service center, in which the driver's seat belt would not properly retract. The problem was not corrected, and I believe contributed to the seatbelt failure during my accident.

Brake pedal goes 1/2 way down before brakes engage at all. Pedal can be pushed to floor without much effort by my 120lb wife. ABS did not engage. Neither airbag deployed - impact speed was 30 to 35 mph. Dealer insists brakes are ok. 2001 model has 13 inch discs and it stops great! (our rental is a 2001 Outback wagon). We love the car, it just worries us that it doesn't stopproperly and the airbags don't go off - apparently the 'computer' deemed it "unecessary" although it was a head-on, smack in the middle of the front, collision!
