Example complaints

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

“When braking consumer would lose power steering. Shortly after the consumer had taken possession of the vehicle steering problems started. When the brakes were applied the steering would lock, bind at low speeds when the brakes were applied, get stiff when backing and turning. The dealer was not able to diagnose the problem. The pressure built in the braking system caused the master cylinder to leak and pressure built up and blew the top off the master cylinder which caused the front brakes to wear out. The seats were wearing badly at the edges on both sides.”
