Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Consumer discovered cracks in the sidewall of the tires due to them being dry rotted, all 4 tires were replaced. The upper strut mount was lubricated, the blower resistor in the air condition was replaced, the carpet was replaced, and there was a wind noise coming from the driver side window.ts”
NHTSA complaint #8021382, filed 2002-10, 24,000 miles“I have a 1999 Buick Century , I took the vehicle to have a radiator flush and was advised that I couldn't have this job performed due to a leak or crack in the intake gasket. At this time I was very surprise to see the complaints and there is no recall. This is outrageous that no one seems to care this is a very expensive repair and should not be the responsibility of the consumer to replace. This should've been done by general motors.”
NHTSA complaint #10073132, filed 2004-05“The car had a flat and was being changed in a drive way on a flat surface with the jack that came with the car. Once the car was jacked up and the tire removed the jack broke and the front end fell down, no one was hurt, but someone changing the flat could very well have been hurt or killed when the car went down.”
NHTSA complaint #758774, filed 2002-02“My wife tried to change a tire using the supplied jack which failed. The weight of the car crushed the jack which was on a flat asphalt surface. Clearly the supplied jack could not support the weight of the car.”
NHTSA complaint #726309, filed 2000-07“While air conditioning was on consumer noticed fumes inside of vehicle. Temperature gauge was repaired three times. Air scoop to cool engine scrapes ground, also lets fumes and heat from engine in car.”
