Try this:
controller:
 def create
   @complaint = Complaint.find(params[:complaint_id])
   @comment = @complaint.comments.create(params[:comment])
   respond_to do |format|
     unless @comment.save
       flash[:notice] = "Fail!"
     end
     format.html { redirect_to complaint_path(@complaint) }
   end
 end

check the params array. While creating the comments, pass the params array
appropriately. I think may be that's where the problem lies. As for
redirect to another page, you need to write your redirect statements in
"format.html { redirect_to ..}"
