Example complaints

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

“Because of the dark blue primer used that year on all buicks my car looks like it is starting to melt, I have trouble selling the car because of this, there is no rust or any other problem with the car. If there was a recall on this make/model I didn't know about it. Getting a whole new paint job will cost money I don't have.no safety defect listed in the summary.”
