Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While performing routine maintenance on my 2018 Acura TLX, I discovered a critical structural failure in the front right (passenger side) lower control arm. The factory weld connecting the stamped steel control arm to the compliance bushing housing has failed and separated. Visual inspection reveals a clear manufacturing defect: there is a significant crater and void in the weld bead, indicative of incomplete fusion or a start/stop error during the manufacturing process. This is a latent structural defect, not a stress fracture from mileage or impact. …”
