Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I brought this car on 07/07/04. At three months that I brought the car I notice that the car wasn't driving right the car doesn't stay straight on the road. I goes sideways as I drive. I tried to fix the car many times and it still drives the same way. Also the hood is not put on properly. I want to cancel the purchase of this car. Is giving me to many problems and it is just costing me more money.”
