Example complaints

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

“My specific vehicle isnt but should be included in recall of wheel bearing being incorrectly sized and power steering failure. I highly recommend having them checked asap. Because of the incorrect sizing and the power steering failing driving with them will end up costing you a lot of money and is extremely dangerous! Power steering went out on highway. Wheel bearings incorrectly sized will lock up on you while driving randomly.”

“After sitting with my car running in a parked position for approximately one minute, I put the car in drive. I drove for an estimated 30 seconds. Then I stopped to check for oncoming traffic before pulling out into an intersection. When I pressed the gas to make a right turn onto that major road, the yellow/orange wrench sign immediately popped up. Simultaneously, my car began to rumble and shake. In addition, despite pressing the gas pedal, my car was not accelerating. I immediately pulled onto the shoulder of the road, which was difficult to do since my car was struggling to move. …”
