Example complaints

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

“My car stalled while driving 70 MPH without any warnings, this is the second time. The first time was three years ago I end up paying $2294.25 to get it fix, at the time I thought it would be under recall, but it wasn't . Now that it happen again , why should I pay to get it fixed. Thats pretty bad to be driving and your fuel gauge is on half a tank and your car stalls in traffic. Why is it a recall but not on my car.?”
