Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The delay and main wiper system sometimes will stop, I can jiggle the control know on the turn signal lever, or use a different setting and it will work again. If while using the wipers, I have to use the turn signals, then it may stop the wipers and I have to reset the control knob.”
NHTSA complaint #749485, filed 2001-07“Due to design of clutch pedal assembly which is located under dash, clip on rod is held by brackets which are plastic, and they broke off, causing vehicle not to engage in gear, which may result in a crash. The lever used to move the seat forward broke at 70,000 miles. The consumer states that the clutch slave, three alternators, power windows and heater had been replaced.”
