Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The sidewalls of two tires purchased at the same time were separating causing multiple gashes on each tire. Both tires were purchased originally on 8/11/2011 and today I had to take them to get replaced. The problem was noticed yesterday, 11/18/12. The tire store refused to issue any warranty on the tires as they stated there was no recall so I had to pay for new tires. The tire store took the tires but I took pictures of the tires before they took them.”
NHTSA complaint #10485229, filed 2012-11, 120,827 miles“My 2005 Hyundai Elantra hydroplanes even at low speeds and skids very easily on slightly wet pavement. My daughter has complained about this to me many times. Tonight she hydroplaned and went into a wooden pole. She wasn't injured and the airbag did not deploy; however, the front fender was damaged. I am going to have it fixed then see about getting rid of the car. It does not seem to be safe.”
