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.
My vehicle was rear-ended and shoved into a third vehicle. We were on an interstate highway with wet pavement, and traffic was slowing. We were traveling straight. The airbags did not deploy, and my wife, belted in the front passenger seat, was twisted sideways by the impact. She experienced a pelvic fracture and aggravation of her arthritic left hip joint. We believe that airbag deployment would have prevented these injuries. I have attached three event data files and vehicle control history files. (I can't see if all three are attached.)
Takata recall possibly. Wet pavement, traffic slowed on interstate to about 45 mph, tailgating small pickup hit my rear crumple zone, shoved me into a small SUV that crushed my front crumple zone. Airbags did not deploy. Neither my wife (front seat passenger) nor I felt any discomfort, but a few days later she complained about pain in her waist area. She was later determined to have a fractured pelvis and a jostled left hip joint.
The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Prius. While the brake pedal was depressed, the rear wheels seized. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a ditch. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a body shop and the body damages were repaired so that the vehicle could be driven. The vehicle was taken to kalispell Toyota (2845 U.S. 93 S, kalispell, mt 59901) for diagnostic testing, but the cause of the failure was undetermined. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.
