Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

Crash reported

FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICAL WAS TURNED AROUND TO PULL INTO A PARKING AREA. THE FRONT BUMPER HIT A TREE STUMP WHERE THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTS. THE VEHICAL WAS MOVING LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE BUMPER WAS CRACKED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE BUMPER BRACKETS ARE MOUNTED TO THE RADIATOR WHICH ALSO BROKE. SO THIS POOR DESIGN OF HAVING THE BUMPER MOUNTED TO THE RADIATOR CAUSED APROXIMATLY $1800.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE.
