Example complaints

Brakes: “I only have 8000 miles on it, and the steering wheel is shaking when I touch the brakes. It also has squeaked from the day I bought it. I took it back to the dealer, they didn't hear the squeak. It is only when I back up.”

NHTSA complaint #10839848, filed 2016-03, 8,000 miles

Steering: “The van wanders back and forth at highway speeds (> 60mph). I had the front end alignment and suspension checked out - all ok. Problem gets worse when pulling a 5000 lb camper - almost a safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11002038, filed 2017-06, 34,000 miles

Body and structure: “On june 10, 2014 I left my office and traveled across the parking driveway at about 7 MPH, a distance of about 150 feet where I attempted to stop(using my right foot on the brake) before making a right hand turn onto a busy fast moving street. At this point my foot hit the brake and accelerator at the same time (they are extremely close) causing me to suddenly lurch forward toward the oncoming traffic coming from my left. Fortunately I was able to quickly use my left foot to power brake and safely stop my vehicle. …”
