Example complaints

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

“We had to change a rear driver side tire because we needed to add air to the tire and the sensor control was broken. We took the tire off and replaced it with the spare. When retrieving the spare we had a very difficult time getting it off the spare tire holder winch. After struggling with the spare tire for 30 minutes we got it released and when we tried to hoist the winch back up, it would not go up. We tried repeatedly for another 30 minutes without any success. We had to remove the entire tire winch holder part so it wouldn't hang down while driving. …”
