Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle has an issue with loss of power steering. It has happened and returned but it gone out totally now and I believe it should be part of the Cadillac power steering recall, but my VIN is not listed as vehicle that is affected.”
NHTSA complaint #11372540, filed 2020-11, 27,500 miles“While driving on the freeway, a car was merging into my lane. I quickly turned into the next available lane as it was empty, and when I turned the steering wheel slightly to the left, it overcompensated and violently turned the steering wheel to the left, leading to the car spinning out on the freeway. It was difficult to straighten the wheel at that point, until it overcompensated to the right causing me to spin out some more. This LED to an accident, and it was a miracle no one was killed. …”
