Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front suspension noise due to broken sway bar links rusted front right and front left. Front brake lines and fuel line badly rusted but not leaking yet. If front fuel line leaks it will leak onto engine rear to cause fire. If front brake line leaks I will not be able to stop car. I had reported to NHTSA when my rear brake lines leaked preventing me from stopping in 2011 but luckily I was going very slow. My driver side window failed preventing me from opening window,needing replacement in may 2014.”
NHTSA complaint #10621903, filed 2014-08, 44,000 miles“This car began to show signs of front end wobble a few months ago. This means it feels like the wheels shake from side to side mostly when accelerating from 30 to 45 MPH. I took it to the dealer about a month ago but he said he only felt it one time while driving it several blocks around the dealership neighborhood. I took it to firestone immediately after I left the dealership and they balanced the bridgestone tires and the wobble seemed to be lessened. I then took it home and replaced the rear rotors and brake pads as they seems to vibrate when we put the parking brake on while driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #10425821, filed 2011-09, 88,594 miles“When vehicle reaches speeds of 66 MPH and higher entire vehicle vibrates. Dealership had serviced vehicle and replaced the part several times, but the problem still exists.”
NHTSA complaint #10040383, filed 2003-09, 20 miles“There is water coming into the back floor board behind drivers seat of my 2000 bucik Lesabre. Unable to find where leak is and now I have smell I cannot get rid of. The water is even there when no rainfall present.”
NHTSA complaint #10093424, filed 2004-10“Rear air-shock compressor malfunction. Out of nowhere the rear of my car was higher than normal and after finally getting the dealership to check it they told me that the compressor was jammed and needed to be replaced. This car has been experiencing random malfunctions and breakdowns in various systems since it was purchased and I'm forced to pay out-of-pocket due to the poor design and quality of this car. The individuals at the dealership just shrug it off and say that it happens but regular breakdowns in random parts of a car do not just happen .”
