Example complaints

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

“So just bought this crossover, which is more like a short SUV, or a really sturdy and stout station wagon; with 98,000miles 9n it. So there must've been an issue with the air bags because I was cleaning under the front seats and while doing so, k I locked a resistor wrapped in electrical tape off of some wires and even since my service airbag light has been on, not to mention there are wires cut that I need relieve go to the air bags as well. All that I was fine with. …”

NHTSA complaint #11173758, filed 2019-02, 102,196 miles

“When driving home from a 2 hour trip in snowy conditions, the car started making a noise from the engine just as we pulled onto our road but no warning lights came on. We did not drive the vehicle and had it towed to the mechanic. The mechanic changed oil and filter and says he doesn't know what is wrong without going through the entire engine to find the problem. Took it to another mechanic who said it is not keeping oil pressure, the camshafts are misfiring and he thinks the timing chain is an issue. They both said it needs a new engine and it has just under 85,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #10862505, filed 2016-05, 112,000 miles

“This complaint is a continuation of complaint bin23-53927 and describes the findings of the transmission disassembly. Disassembly was delayed due to medical treatment unrelated to this incident. Transmission failed suddenly in high volume rush hour traffic. Torque was lost just before an exit allowing the vehicle to exit without power however the vehicle stopped in middle lane of a service road. On coming vehicles had to brake behind the vehicle. Sudden transmission failure in heavy high speed traffic presents a high risk of rear collision with multiple vehicles and injury. …”

“Weaving in between cars without signaling, tailgating every car she came behind. She tried to cut people off. She tired to pull in front of people using nonexistent lanes. Speeding and vulgar hand gestures.”
