Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Problem: unstable & inadequate jack for vehicle. I had a flat on my vehicle and used the factory jack. While pulling the tire off the lugs the vehicle shifted and the jack fell over. Luckily the tire was still within the wheel-well and tire/rim broke the fall. Even though I was on a flat level concrete parking lot, the stability of the jack is poor (very small footprint and top of the ram is also small). Not very much front-back movement causes instability for the jack. In addition, the maximum jack height provided barely enough clearance to put a new tire on (20? Factory tires). …”
NHTSA complaint #10238660, filed 2008-08, 4,000 miles“Rear wipers are not standard equipment on vehicles that have a near vertical rear window, like an SUV, which gets soiled during inclement weather. That practically blocks rear visibility and contributes to rear rollover accidents, as well as collisions with other objects. Most if not all SUV's can have a rear wiper installed as an accessory, so making it standard will be very easy for the manufacturers. In february the president signed into law legislation addressing rear rollover accidents, and this requirement should be added to that bill.”
