Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After taking vehicle in for an alignment I was informed by mechanic that there was a problem with right power steering rack mounting bushings and the lower control arm was making a noise. He said it would cost approx. $1400.00 to correct this problem. This vehicle was well amintained and driven properly at all times. This seems a bit strange that a vehicle less than 4 years old, not driven abusively would have such a major expense repair.”
NHTSA complaint #759431, filed 2002-03“Car pulls to the left upon slowing down to a stop, driving on bumpy terrain and freeway conditions. Car has beeen in 4 times for repairs such as complete rebuild of rack and pinion, rotation of tires and alignment. Problem still exists. Steering wheel comes to rest turned left and will not bounce back to center after manuvering a left turn. Steering wheel does come back to center after negotiating a right turn.”
