Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The local dealer declined to repair the speedometer. On record reported no problems found off the record they told me nothing can be done about it. I feel that by reporting inaccurate speeds because the speedometer needle fluctuates even when going at a constant (same) speed, the driver doesn't know the exact speed he/she is going. The problem with the window for the rear has been repaired 3 times and the sealant (urathane) continues to seep out because of outside temps. The windshield also shows evidence but not as bad as the rear back window. …”
NHTSA complaint #714707, filed 1999-11“The problem with the window was reported yesterday 11/12/1999. I forgot to add that it may not cause safety problems now but months down the line and depending on the temperatures, the seepage of the sealant can cause the seal around the window to be ineffective and ultimately cause water to enter through the cabin area. When that happens it could cause shortage and risk to major components. The problem with the tires are that they showed pre-mature uneven wearing on the outer treads of all tires at approximately 1,500 miles. …”
