Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After backing out of my garage, at an approx. Speed of 1 MPH, I turned the wheels to the left to run an errand, and the drivers side tie rod end broke. The drag link dropped and the wheel cocked to the full left. At this point I don't know if it caused any other damage. I spoke with the nearest dealer and was told that there are no recalls on this vehicle at this time. Unfortunately I need this vehicle and had to order a new tie rod end at a cost of $116.00. Bearing any other damage, I will also have to get an alignment, at an unknown cost at this time. …”
