Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The steering began to be hard to turn left. Power steering fluid was fine. Steering wheel began to lock when trying to turn left only. The car was only showing about 56.000 miles. The car got stuck in an intersection because I could not get it to turn sharp enough, and I feel it is dangerous to drive. The dealership said it would cost over 700 dollars to be repaired. I did not expect it to need such costly repairs at this early date.”
NHTSA complaint #725217, filed 2000-07“Steering wheel made clicking sound when trying to turn wheel became hard to steer as if no power steering and air bag light came on. Turned out to be the air bag coil - which had an exposed circuit. Noticed many technical service bulletins of this nature about the clicking in the steering wheel. Do not know if air bag was involved with the techinical service bulletins or other complaints. Could have been a very serious incedent if this occurred while driving the vehicle. …”
