Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Water flows into the trunk of the car by going down through the side panels (under the trunk) and ends up under the spare tire. This makes it hard to identify because you don't notice it until you need your spare.”
NHTSA complaint #10138437, filed 2005-10, 20,000 miles“While driving at 70 MPH, the speedometer fluctuated and consumer couldn't get an accurate reading of the vehicle's speed. The mechanic attempted to fix the speedometer numerous times, once by replacing the internal cluster. There was a squealing noise coming from the front of the vehicle, the noise was fixed by blocking the air intake on the front of the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times on the freeway, however the mechanic was unable to find the problem. There was a noise coming from the heat shield. …”

NHTSA complaint #10252274, filed 2008-12, 44,000 miles“The strap that attaches the car seat base to the hook in the car is not secured to the base very well. The strap is secured by one screw and the strap is not reinforced where the screw goes through it so the hole stretches and eventually becomes larger than the screw head making it so that the strap is no longer attached to the base.
