Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall vehicle acted like it wanted to only go right and I couldn't turn left and ended up hitting the guardrail on the right side of the road and almost totalled the vehicle. Didn't know about any recall so I went to junkyard to get whole front end, fenders, hood and pretty much every thing on front of vehicle except for motor. But did replace fan on motor. Cost in parts only was approx. $700.00 (have receipts). Not including labor! & time and cost spent not having a vehicle until fixed. Also no airbags deployed!”
NHTSA complaint #10840408, filed 2016-03, 108,735 miles“The wheel bearings on my 2002 2-door chevy Blazer went at just under 54,000 miles. Both front wheel bearings had to be replaced. It was suggested that I report this because this should not happen to a vehicle with so little mileage.”
NHTSA complaint #10197063, filed 2007-07, 54,000 miles“Front wheel bearing failure after only 48,000 miles of normal use. Replaced bearings myself to the cost of $300. I have saved the old parts. I'll never buy another GM vehicle again!”
NHTSA complaint #10153099, filed 2006-03, 48,000 miles“When brake pedal was depressed at 20 MPH it failed to stop the vehicle. This resulted in an accident because the vehicle ran through a stop sign. Prior to this incident, which started at 400 miles, vehicle would either pull to the right/left while driving at any speed. The cause of both failures was undetermined.”
NHTSA complaint #10042518, filed 2003-10, 7,000 miles“Driver's side ball joints failed at 60,000 miles. Normal driving, this model had problems in the past 1997 with the same condition. Looks like they could not fix if you have more complaints. Had to repair at local auto repair shop. 200+”
