Example complaints

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

“I was driving to work and was passing a truck in front of me and heard a loud pop. I thought my windshield had been hit by something until I saw that there was no damage, so I kept driving. My car began to overheat so I slowed down. When I got to work I looked at my car and saw that the hood had an almost hole in it so I looked under the hood and found my belts gone and damage to the underside of the hood and lining. A fellow employee looked at it for me and we discovered that my fan had been obliterated and a great deal of damage had been done to my car. …”
