The Consumer Complaints Search Engine enables you to search for consumer complaints related to motor vehicles, child safety devices, and other equipment such as tires. The database contains information about all complaints after 1995.
  Defect Investigations
The Investigations Search Engine enables you to search for information about current and past NHTSA investigations. The database contains information about all investigations opened since 1972.
