Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I bought this SUV from legends auto sale. After I bought it, I notice the engine bay was real rusty like its been in water or driven over lots of water. I didnt get a car fax at time of purchases but did car fax myself , and it appeared that vehicle is from new orleans. With all the dirt and grim coming out of vehicle its diffently from new orleans. So far I replaced new pads and rotors, master cylinder, brake switch, new spark plugs and wires. The problem occurring now is that my trac light and ABS light will come on after half hour of driving and car seizes up and I'm unable to accelerate. …”
