“My windshield wipers do not clear the windshield properly in inclement weather, my brakes sometimes make scrubbing sounds, my tires seem slippery sometimes when turning a curve, and my car jerks sometimes when pulling off after sitting still.”
NHTSA complaint #11079473, filed 2018-03, 35,000 miles“I purchased the car in january 2017 after 2 months of having the car the windows would not go up. I would have to wait hours for it to start back working. The suspension was low for a few weeks then it would slowly come back up. Basically my whole car has electrical problems back up camera goes black, the odometer has dead pixels, car extremely sluggish, the car shakes and kills alot. Also when I turn the heated seats on it turns off within 2 minutes. It is so much the car is doing to say this car has a clean carfax.”

NHTSA complaint #10914833, filed 2016-10, 43,000 miles“Since new it has been difficult to maintain alignment. At first it would be aligned and then it would take 5000 miles to move out of spec (bad on all numbers, but camber and caster are the worst). Service has tried to claim it received frame damage at some point. After conducting an undercar review there appears to be no damaged suspension components. There is a non-structural plastic support at the base of the radiator that was distorted when the car struck a tire tread on the freeway. …”
