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.
I was in a accident on the 105fwy West, going between 15-25 mph in moderate morning traffic. I hit the back of a car, slammed my face against the steering wheel, and severely damaged my front hood, bumper and engine, which has been totaled out! my air bags failed to deploy! its a 2001 Ford Escort, never been in a accident, and I have neck, back, and severe jaw pain.
While slowing down to stop at a red light, the driver's air bag deployed inadvertently. As a result, the driver's visibility was impaired, causing him to crash into another vehicle.
I hit a guardrail going 55 mph and then proceeded to be thrown down a hill into a field and my air bags did not deploy. I was curious as to why this happened--thanks.
Consumer stopped at a red light when another vehicle rearended consumer's vehicle and pushed her into vehicle in front. Neither airbag deployed. Consumer hit her head on steering wheel. Vehicle was totalled, other vehicles affected by this accident had deployed airbags.
