Example complaints

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

“At approximately 59,000 miles on the odometer, I was driving on a city street in hot weather conditions with the air conditioner on and attempted turning right into a parking lot and the power assist went out on the steering. I had to use all my might to get the wheel to make the 90 degree turn. After experiencing this, I had to fight to get the VAN into a parking spot. I turned off the engine, opened the windows, and called a tow truck. …”
