Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“A constant percolating or rattling sound is heard while driving slowly and especially on uneven surfaces. The noise gets worse and more consistent as the car is driven. Since nobody can tell me what it is, I must assume it could be a safety concern. The noise became worse after a strut was replaced at 100 miles. The noise got louder after an attempt to fix it by installing a new coil (f-spring?). I was told that this is a characteristic of the car so they will not make attempts to repair it when I request specific actions. I have heard similar noises in at least 7 other same model cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #10467742, filed 2012-07, 100 miles“Airbag indicator continues to go on and off with no one sitting on the passenger front side. With a person seated on the passenger front side it indicates airbag off in motion especially and even while parked.... Feels like the tires are about to fall off when driving or turning especially on three front tires and even worse when going over bumbs speed bumbs or holes while driving”
