Example complaints

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

“I brought my extended 2002 trailblazer in to the dealer for a recall on the rear doors, a seal for the bottom. I think it was for the door latch rusting out and flying open while your driving. I told them to check the ABS because the warning light was on. They supposedly checked it out and told me that the front drivers side hub was very wobbly and it caused the sensor to go bad. Me being a mechanic also, decided to take it to my trusted garage and told them to replace the hub. My vehicle only has 45000 miles on it and I didn't think that this part should have gone bad. …”
