Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I bought the car a year ago after about 4 months in I started to notice a noise every time I turned left. It was a small noise so I didn't think much of it. I checked to see if there were any recalls and there are none. Now it is more noticable but the car is driving fine unless I make a left turn it's like a slight clicking noise. Has there been any other complaints about this happening because the car should not be doing this. I have only had it a year. Other than this issue the car runs great.”
