Example complaints

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

“I was traveling on the highway at the speed of 50 MPH and the van suddenly began to violently shake and shudder from the front wheels and up and including the shake of the steering wheel. I slowed the vehicle down by braking to 35 MPH and it slowly stopped shaking. This has become a regular issue with the vehicle and I have taken it from shop to shop and mechanics cannot figure out the problem. I fear for my family's safety as well as my own when driving alone in this vehicle. It has been a year since this has begun. …”
