Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Power steering pump was bad since I bought the truck. Now it takes a lot of strength to turn the wheels when I park ( low RPM) the dealer cherged me over $ 350 and they said that they could find the problem. Junk !! It feels like is locking up even on highways when engine cruises at low RPM 2 : headlights bad design . The LED / turn signal : the bulb itself is an LED light, but is way to close to the plastic bars inside the headlight, and that causes burns in the plastic , resulting in a very dim turn light signal and day light driving lights . …”
