Example complaints

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

“When driving on a highway and hitting a pot hole, the front end of the truck shakes violently until the speed of the truck is reduced to almost a stop. This is obviously dangerous because, not only do I loose control temporarily, but the cars behind me can hit me. Many people on line have expressed the same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10585052, filed 2014-04, 40,000 miles

“Driving on highway at 70 MPH, hit bump in the road and the whole front end starts wobbling so bad and had to slow way down to get it to stop. Was almost rear ended by vehicle behind me and car pulled beside me and was pointing at front of truck, so I thought I had a flat. Pulled off road and no flat, scared me so waited a few minutes and proceeded on. This has happened on a couple occasions, always when hit a by spot in road, once going over smooth railroad tracks. Also will be driving and foot on gas pedal and all of sudden have no power. …”
