Example complaints

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

“The heat does not get hot on the passenger side when driving anywhere or when parked. The horn randomly goes off when I'm driving on the street expressway and also when the car is parked and shutoff. The airbag indicator light will not go off when the car is parked or while driving on all roads. The airbag indicator sound chimes continuously while I'm driving on any road. I went to drive my car last week in the extremely cold temperature and discovered I had no power steering. I got out the car and also discovered huge amounts of power steering fluid in the snow where I was parked. …”
