Example complaints

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

“The windshield on this vehicle cracked for no apparent reason. The crack started at the bottom, just left of center. The crack ran up the windshield for about 3 inches, then turned 90 degrees to the right. Over the course of the next few weeks, the crack ran all the way to the right a-pillar. It bears mentioning that the crack started while the vehicle was in my driveway. The car hadn't even been started yet. I've seen many mentions on-line of Pt Cruiser's with problems identical to mine, and my neighbor's pt also has this same crack. …”
