Example complaints

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

“Brakes get very hard to push and do not work well when going slow speeds or backing up. Unable to even fix as I have been told the part is on national back order! So I'm stuck trying not to crash with faulty vacuum brake part! Left rear seat motor works, but small plastic part broke so seat worn move and is stuck in one position.”
