Example complaints

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

The intensity of 'pull' has several times pulled the steering wheel from my grip. Problem was brought to dealer's attention....during five triips to dealer he replaced the rotors and pads and aligned the front end (twice), all to no avail. …”
