Example complaints

“Was driving down the road at 70 MPH on tires that have less than 12,000 miles on them when I had one of the tires blow out on me. I have never had this problem on my car before. I'm glad I was able to sadly bring the car to a stop and didn't cause anymore damage than a bust tire”
NHTSA complaint #10981000, filed 2017-04, 134,130 miles“I came to a stop, looked to my left. Saw no car , and proceeded to leave to make a left. Car struck me on the left fender. Heard a long sound with white smoke all in the car that came from air bag, my face was struck so hard by the air bag that it made a large bump on forehead and eyes black in blue swollen with a headache that I've had for some days now. I've had to miss work all week, it also made me neck n side hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #10681497, filed 2015-02, 67,000 miles“Starting at approx. 50mph I experience a shimmy in the steering wheel, most of the time. From time to time it will not shimmy when I reach the 50mph but as soon as I stop and start again the shimmy returns. I took it back to the dealer and all they did was balance the tires and did not make a difference. So I have had the car aligned, tires/rims force road balanced, new rotors, brake pads,bearings checked and still have the same shimmy. Dealer will not help and I nor anyone else knows what to try next.”
