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 snow/ice weather conditions I lost control of my vehicle on 01/11/07 going straight on rt.380 in stockton, NY. My vehicle rolled over, and landed front end down, upside down in a ditch. During the crash, none of the three air bags engaged/released. Because of the impact on the front end of my vehicle, think they should have released. No injury was done to myself, and no one was in my vehicle, but I was very lucky. Nothing needed to be done to correct this failure.
While traveling at 60 mph the consumer lost control of vehicle and rear ended the vehicle in front. None of the vehicles air bags deployed. The consumers right shoulder was injured as a result.
Consumer states that the air bag module failed causing the driver and passenger front air bags to become inoperative. Dealer repaired in 06/02 and now air bag has failed again. Dealer is unable to determine cause of current failure.
Recall 99V325000 work was corrected. Since recall work was done engine check light illuminated on the dash. Consumer contacted the dealer. Dealer noted that recall problem has failed and wires went bad. Also, air bag light was illuminating on the dash.
Windshield wiper on passenger's side stopped working. Windshield wiper never started working again. Also, airbag light stayed on until consumer took it to be repaired a month after consumer had the car.
Air bag warning light flashed on and off. In August or September of 1999, they corrected the problem. About a month afterwards, air bag light began to flash again. Problem has not been corrected. Please provide any further informtion.
Airbag light came on, indicating a problem with airbag system which deployes unexpectedly or wont deploy in event of a crash, and wont protect the occupant. Dealer will replace parts in the airbag system.
Seat belt would continuously chime. The air bag light stays on after starting vehicle. Vehicle would start erratically. Door frame would leak. Convertible top did not stay closed. Vehicle would idle at 2000rpms when slowing down & almost stall out. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes vehicle shakes. Also, air bag light and ABS brake light stay on, and driver's side shoulder belt doesn't work.
