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.
While driving at 45 mph vehicle in front of consumer's vehicle came to a complete stop, causing it to rear end the other vehicle. Upon impact, driver seat track and anchorage came unattached.
Another vehicle struck driver on side of consumer's car, and seatbelt behind passenger didn't hold ccs or child in place, seat flew backwards, and child landed on hands and knees. Jack for changing tires also came out of compartment in back of truck.
Item 1, steering column; 55 reports of bolt giving way causing add'L bolt to shear off and steering column to separate. Investigated by insurance, this apparently was not involved in this crash. Item 2, air bags, neither front or side air bags deployed in this 2.25 time rollover. There was a passenger in the front seat. Vehicle came to rest on passenger side. Seems side airbags should have deployed.
While consumer was stopping was rear ended by another vehicle at 30 mph. Upon impact, front seat collasped, and front airbags did not deploy. The injuries that driver sustained caused a miscarraige of pregnancy. Consumer felt if airbags would have deployed, njuries would not have been so severe.
