Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints 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.

MY TWO BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE DOOR PANELS AND PASSENGER AIR BAG. I SAW THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR YESTERDAY AND THE SAME DOOR PANEL WAS MISSING ON THAT CAR ALSO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DOOR PANEL SIMPLY BLEW OFF AS WE WERE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, POSING A THREAT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER PANEL IS LOOSE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO DEPLOY. THE CORNERS ARE TURNED UP. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE DANGER THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF DOOR PARTS. THANK YOU.*AK
