Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I test drove the vehicle I purchased in the penske parking lot. I was not able to take it to the freeway. Vehicle felt fine, engine looked good, rear tires were worn, but I was told they conformed to DOT standards. After the purchase I started to drive it home. When I got on the freeway, I could not get the truck above 50 miles per hour with out severe vibrations. The truck also pulled to the right, it was obvious the truck needed a front end alignment. Penske gives a 15 day period when they will repair damage you have found. …”
