Example complaints

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

“While driving I was hearing noise under car. Then front drivers wheel came off damaging car above the tire while I was driving on the street at about 35 miles. Car was towed in to firestone where they had to replace ball joint and arm. Among the maintenance after that I was then told on passengers side the lower control arm ball joint was about to fall off.”

NHTSA complaint #11055279, filed 2017-12, 10,005 miles

“My control arm and lower ball joint separated while I was driving. I was left blocking a busy intersection because I literally could not move my car because the tire had also separated from the axle. I had to replace the right axle, right lower control arm, left lower ball joint, and replace the outer tie rod end. This cost me over $1,000. I recently came across that a recall was issued for these very things that happened to me, however, I was never notified. I would like to be reimbursed for this expense.”

NHTSA complaint #10677071, filed 2015-01, 99,875 miles

“3 months ago I began hearing sqeaky noises from the rear of the car when I go over a bump and uneven road. 2 weeks ago, my vehicle began to slightly wobble at low speed, as if the tire had went bad. 3-4 days later, after a few days I began hearing humming noises from the tire rotation. The noise gets louder with acceleration and coasting down a hill. Now its a knocking sound included, as if a piece of my tire component has fallen off. The repair shop informed me of a bad wheel bearing that I replaced. I was advised to get new tires due to irregular wear pattern and then an alignment. …”

“Passenger door master switch malfunction, driver window rolled down by itself during ice storm while driving on highway would not roll back up. Had to purchase and replace with new switch. Faulty rear camber in both right and left rear wheels. Both leaning inwards about 12 degrees, ruined 2 new tires, had to spend $670 for camber kit, and $200 for (new) new tires. Transmission herky jerky.”
