Example complaints

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

“When we saw the car we noticed the wipers were on and would not quit. The manager of the dealer told us he would get it fixed, that this was no problem. When we came back, the wipers were off and we did not check them. After we left, the car died on us and all the lights came on on the dash. We drove back to the dealer and told them we wanted our money back, but he said that we had bought the car as is and that meant that we had no recourse. …”
