Example complaints

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

“On highway, when speed reaches between 60 to 80 MPH, the car feels unstable. It is like the two front tires are running out of air and I have to fight to steer the car to keep it going in a straight line. I took it into two dealerships and they tested the alignment and inflated the tires to manufacturer's specs but it did not solve the issue. They told me that was all they could do and nothing else.”

NHTSA complaint #11053319, filed 2017-12, 40,000 miles
