Consumer Safety Complaints
Search 2,245,377 safety complaints filed by vehicle owners with NHTSA, including 140,173 crashes, 56,794 fires, and 8,580 deaths.
What is a NHTSA consumer complaint?
A consumer complaint is a free-form report filed by a vehicle owner directly to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) describing a safety concern about their vehicle. NHTSA collects these reports through its Vehicle Owner Defect Report (VOQ) system and publishes them publicly. Each complaint includes the affected component, the date and circumstances of the incident, whether the failure caused a crash or fire, and any reported injuries or deaths. The owner's full narrative description is included verbatim, NHTSA does not edit or moderate the descriptions.
The database below contains over 2,245,377 individual complaints. NHTSA's investigators monitor it for clusters of similar reports, when enough owners describe the same failure mode on the same vehicle, NHTSA may open a Preliminary Evaluation that can lead to a recall. Many of the largest recalls in U.S. history, including the Takata airbag recall and the Hyundai/Kia engine fire recalls, started as patterns visible in this complaint database years before they became formal recalls.
How to interpret what you read
A few principles for reading consumer complaints usefully:
- One complaint is anecdote; a hundred similar complaints is data. NHTSA does not investigate the truthfulness of any individual report, that's the job of the Office of Defects Investigation, which looks at the full pattern. When evaluating a vehicle, look for whether multiple owners describe the same chain of events.
- Crash, fire, injury, and death flags are owner-set. They are not verified by NHTSA. They are still useful as a filter, because owners who tick those boxes are typically reporting more serious incidents than those who don't.
- Component categories are NHTSA-assigned, not owner-assigned. NHTSA standardizes the component field so that complaints can be aggregated. The owner narrative often goes into more detail than the component category captures.
- Complaint volume scales with sales volume. A best-selling model will accumulate more raw complaints than a niche model even at the same defect rate. To compare across vehicles, look at complaints per 100,000 units sold, not raw counts.
If you've experienced a defect
File a complaint. NHTSA's investigators rely on this database to detect emerging defects, and useful complaints, specific, concrete, with dates and mileage and clear descriptions of what happened, feed directly into the agency's pattern detection. The form takes about 10 minutes and is at nhtsa.gov/recalls under "Report a Safety Problem." Your complaint becomes part of the same public record that this page is built from. Owners filing detailed VOQs are how recalls get triggered.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CANNOT SEE WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS ON. I ALMOST CRASHED ON A WINDING ROAD WHEN SWITCHING TO LOW BEAMS BECAUSE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I BOUGHT NEW BULBS AND STILL NO GOOD. DID NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR 6 MONTHS BEFORE PURCHASING FOG LIGHTS TO ASSIST LOW BEAMS.

THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS (NOT HIGH BEAMS) ARE SO DIM THAT IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. IN LOW LIGHT AREAS (CITY STREETS) I HAVE BUMPED THE CURB BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE IT AND WHEN TURNING IN LOW LIT INTERSECTIONS, I AM UNABLE TO SEE WHERE THE LANES ARE, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY TURN. I HAVE CLEANED THE OUTER PART OF THE HEADLIGHT AND REPLACED THE LIGHTS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

Incident date: Mar 4, 2021
WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT IS VERY EASY TO INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS. IF TOO MUCH FORCE OR A "SLAPPING" MOTION IS USED, THE SWITCH CAN EASILY ROTATE TO OFF, WHILE DRIVING.
Incident date: May 1, 2017
WHETHER IT RAINS OR I GET MY THE VEHICLE WASHED, WATER COLLECTS IN BOTH SIDES OF THE TAIL LIGHT AND SHORTS THE LED OUT. THIS POSES A RISK OF NIGHT TIME REAR-END COLLISIONS IF THE ENTIRE LIGHT SHORTS OUT WHICH I AM AFRAID IT MAY EVENTUALLY. THE COST IS OVER $1000 TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS ONE, BIG ASSEMBLY WHICH HOUSES BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT LIGHTS AND ALSO THE BACKUP CAMERA.
