The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
In the act of turning into a parking lot, I hit the curb on the front passenger side and heard a loud bang. As I continued, I knew immediately that I had a flat and pulled into a parking spot. There was a side wall blow out very large on that front tire. Had to replace the tire on a car that we have owned new for only 6 months and only had 6,000 miles on. I was going very slow as I turned and when I went back to look at the curb it was rounded and not sharp. Took a photo of it because it shocked me. Aaa came and towed the car to a dealer and after reading some shocking reports about the takahoma tires that we have on our car decided to replace it with another brand. My concern is the safety of the other 3 tires as we continue driving this car.

My vehicle was struck in the drivers side door by another vehicle. The entire side of the van was affected, from the wheels to the bumpers. I feel the vehicle that struck my van was doing at least 20 mph at the time of impact and the side impact air bags did not deploy. In my research I have found that impacts from 8 to 18 mph should cause these side air bags to deploy. This is very concerning for myself and the safety of others with these types of vehicles. Chrysler had an "independent" investigator inspect the van before any repairs were completed. I was not asked to be present at the time of the inspection or given a copy of the report. I will be attempting to contact the "independent" investigator for a copy of the report but don't feel that I will have much luck. There were four children in the van along with my spouse when the accident happened and thankfully no critical injuries were sustained. I would like to know if the air bags were supposed to work. The vehicle is currently being repaired at the dealership I purchased it at.
