Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle was regularly maintained and did not show any air bag codes on a reader. Was told by tow truck driver a new ball joint failed after recently being replaced. This caused me to lose steering around a small bend and lead me to go straight into a guardrail at 55mph. Upon impact of guardrail and a 10foot drop off the air bag never went off upon a 55mph head on impact. I had be rushed to hospital and with request for lifeline but was unavailable. I spent day and half in hospital and had to have 15 stiches put in my face from where impacted the windshield 2 or 3 times. …”
NHTSA complaint #11526959, filed 2023-06“When I first took truck to Gmc service dept. I was told a bolt fell out of steering (somewhere in shaft). The service staff attempted to place a temporary bolt in until the ordered bolt came in. This failed; the temp bolt wouldn't go in. I was told to be very careful driving until fixed. The next day the bolt came in; they attempted to put it in. They told me it wouldn't go in; it was stipped. A new shaft link had to be ordered. Again, I was told to be very careful in driving. Next day I was called in. They replaced part. This cost me $335.87 which I felt I shouldn't have to pay. …”
NHTSA complaint #723894, filed 2000-06“The tilt action of the steering wheel can cause the electrical wires to crimp/break, or short out at their connectors on the back of the multi-function column switch. The cruise control cannot be set with the wheel in the lower positions after failure. Low beam headlights have been lost due to failure.”
