Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving vehicle at any speed it steers to the left or right . Not a simple alignment pull or wander I can feel the wheel as to which way it wants to steer at random. If not paying attention or if you were to let go of the steering wheel it will go off the road absolutly not safe to drive. While accelerating the vehicle feels like the brakes are being applied and does not accelerate I have to give excessive gas petal throttle to get up to speed. There have been times I have came home from as short drive and I can smell the brakes they smell burnt hot. …”
