Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

From owner reports, verbatim

I WAS COMING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY .3 MILE, AT ABOUT 10 MPH AROUND A SMALL CURVE WHEN ALL FOUR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CADILLAC AND NOW GM IS STATING THAT I WAS DRIVING IN EXCESS SPEED OF 50 MPH AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING ERRATICALLY. THIS IS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO COMING OUT OF THE DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER WHERE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN ROAD COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED ME SERIOUS HARM AND ACCIDENTS TO OTHERS. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE TO GIVE ME ANY SIGN THAT THIS DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAPPEN. THIS IS A GM MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY GM AND CADILLAC. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I NEED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHICH I HAVE DONE AND THEY NOW HAVE INVESTIGATORS LOOKING INTO THIS INCIDENT. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER VEHICLES AND TAKE LIVES.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
