Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The frame horns {left and right} developed cracks on all four sides ahead of the front wheels leading to the detachment of the steering arm and stabilizer bar resulting in little to no control of the vehicle. While the detachment is not fully complete it only through the extremely weakened connections that remain that an accident was avoided. The vehicle was brought to a stop as soon the loss of control was experienced and has been parked since. It is cannot be operated safely in the this condition. The failed frame is the source of the driveability and safety issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11192029, filed 2019-03, 140,000 miles“Urgent safety issue: driving down the road vehicle loses complete steer ability!!! Had towed to dealership and found frame rusted through (due to factory routing of A/C water drainage) and caused steering mechanism to separate where the steering connection is!!! Dealership is not acknowledging a recall nor resolution and based on the number of these vehicles still on the road (now primarily as low budget work vans) I fully expect to see injury and deaths if this is not addressed immediately!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #11005087, filed 2017-07“Severe problems with steering since purchase. Vehicle is difficult to control, goes all over road. Dealer cannot find anything wrong. Consumer states there are tracking problems due to rear axle being more narrow than the front axle, rear end sways constantly.”
