Example complaints

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

“1. The steering column support bracket attaching bolts were under torqued during assembly. My vehicle has wiring problems and starting problems that come and go. Inadequate torque can cause these bolts to vibrate loosen or fall out resulting in loss of steering control support bracket attaching bolts to the correct specifications. There is a recall for 1995 buicks but not including my Buick.”

NHTSA complaint #10252114, filed 2008-12, 75,544 miles

“Since vehicle was one year old it has had steering vibration and noise. Buick dealers and head quarters have denied giving me any buletin or advisory info on the problem. They did however give me an extened warranty so I would make no further complaints unless a new problem arose. I only want to know if a solution has been found, if there are advisories on the steering, and how to proceed with them. Buick has been of no help.”

NHTSA complaint #729017, filed 2000-08
