Example complaints

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

“Customer Concern – Highway-Speed Vibration There is a noticeable, consistent vibration that begins at approximately 50 MPH and above and becomes most prevalent around 60 MPH. The vibration is present while maintaining a steady speed and does not appear to be related to acceleration or throttle input. The truck continues to track straight and does not noticeably pull to either side. There is also a slight rhythmic “doot-doot-doot” type noise noticeable at highway speeds when the radio is off. The rhythm appears to remain fairly constant rather than speeding up or slowing down.”

NHTSA complaint #11767301, filed 2026-09
