Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have been the owner of this vehicle since june of 2014 and purchased it with 53k miles. The underbody has substantial rust for the age of the vehicle. This rust has seized the alignment bolts in the rear of the vehicle and it cannot be properly aligned without major repairs(in excess of $1500). A vehicle of this age should not have corrosion to the extent that a rear end alignment is not possible. I have two other vehicles substantially older with less underbody corrosion. …”
NHTSA complaint #10653767, filed 2014-11, 60,122 miles“A fault code gets set and deactivates the rear air leveling suspension. When that happens, no air to the air shocks and it bottoms out. Supposedly, only the dealer can reset it. A real problem when towing a trailer. And even worse, there is no driver alert when it happens or after it has happened -- you just loose your rear suspension. Very dangerous. This has happened 3 times for me in the last 3 weeks -- each time I have towed a trailer I need to take it back to the dealer to have it reset. They tried to replace the air pump, but that did not work. …”
