Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Without warning, the front right wheel bearing disintegrated while traveling on a highway at 55 MPH. I heard a load noise in the front, the truck sagged to the right, and the truck and steering suddenly pulled to the right side, sending the vehicle momentarily out of control. Fortunately, there was no other vehicles to the right of me because I would have been in a serious accident. After swerving and fishtailing, I was able to get the truck under control and coasted off the road. …”
