Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Loud popping sound heard. Steering became difficult. Visible failure on right front as tire was turned toward the engine at the top and turned outward at the pavement. Rear upper body frame complete separation by 2 inches, and front upper body frame visible fracture and ready for separation. Engine was resting on the manifold. If the vehicle had been moving any faster than 5mph, there would or could have been serious injury had the engine collapsed completely to the pavement while travelling. I thought it was a universal joint or a failed shock.”
