Example complaints

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

“At approximately 50 MPH coolant loss from a cracked cylinder head sent a signal to the ECM to shut down the engine which caused the loss of power steering and control. Weather conditions were snow and wind and I was following two dry tracks in the road, upon loss of power the truck drifted onto an area of road covered in snow which nearly carried me off into a ditch. On a dry day if this had occurred inertia would have taken me on to a soft shoulder so in this instance the cold weather and snow actually helped the truck from drifting too far off the road. …”
