Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Steering wheel did not move tires at all. The car drifted to right and when the steering wheel was turned to left, nothing happened. Steering wheel could be spun without affecting tire movement. Dealership that had replaced idler arm stated they could not tell if cause of wreck was their fault but would fix car at their costs. My fear is that there is something structurally wrong with this vehicle that could cause serious damage to others.”
