Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear suspension, trailing arms used to keep rear axle in alignment failed, the vehicle was becoming unstable on the highway and had developed a clunk during stop/starts. When I checked under the car, the trailing arm had separated from the body mount. I imagine under hard braking the axle may wrap up.”
NHTSA complaint #10172155, filed 2006-10, 72,000 miles“2000 Regal Buick with low mileage didn't pass nh state inspection because of code p0440 evaporation emission control system. When looking at GM recall there were 248 other 2000 Buick recalls with the same issue reported to general motors.this code has to do with the fuel system, gas lines and storage tank and can be very dangerous and catch the car on fire.I did call GM and filed a claim but they really don't care.also there is a steering/suspension steering linkage free play. When doing research on this there was a recall (76128) and 979 people also reported this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10501015, filed 2013-03, 137,000 miles“While the vehicle was being serviced, the dealer discovered the tie rod was broken. (this was the third incident by a GM auto with low mileage) the ABS sensor and bearing was replaced, the 2 wheel alignment, set the caster, camber 120 cr 519, and toe in to factory specifics.”
NHTSA complaint #10019928, filed 2003-05, 37,000 miles“While driving 20 MPH the steering failed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a snow bank. The consumer experienced two crashes due to the brakes and the steering locking. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions for the steering problem but the locking continued. The dash lights would come on (gas gauge and oil light), the vehicle pulled to the right and the trunk would fly open while the vehicle was in motion.”
