DRIVING HOME AT 45 MPH ON A 55 MPH STATE ROUTE 8, WE HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE ON AN OVERPASS AND BEGAN TO SLIDE. WE IMPACTED FRONTALLY AND FULLY INTO A GUARDRAIL, HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE FRAME OF THE 2003 CHEVY BLAZER, AND DESTROY THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN THE INSURANCE COMPANY CANNOT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
