Example complaints

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

“My brakes do not function properly. In the past year, I have replaced the front brakes and on the next occasion, the rear brakes. The first time because of a near accident when pressing on the brake and it failing to slow down to a stop. Eventually stopping. The next time, it actually didn't stop until I hit the back of a minivan, then a sedan and SUV crashed into the back of my car. When I got my brakes replaced after that, I almost hit a pedestrian less than a block from the repair shop. Then driving to work, I noticed that the brakes still weren't responding. …”

“The steering column is making a clanking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times which tightened a few screws and gave the vehicle back to the owner. The consumer is concerned that the dealer will keep tightening the screws and something will pop or break. Please provide details.”
