I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 7/6/2015. I RECEIVED BURNS ON BOTH HANDS AND LEFT FOREARM. I ALSO RECEIVED A TORN ROTATOR CUFF AND CHEST BRUISING FROM SEAT BELT. I DO NOT THINK THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE CAUSED BURNS TO MY SKIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED.

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.
