Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle recently purchased used from auto broker. Since purchase, there has been a vibration seemingly originating from the right front wheel area. During an exceptionally windy day (30+ knot crosswinds on highway), the vibration was strong enough to make me question my ability to control the vehicle. I assumed this was due to tires out of round/balance or vehicle out of alignment so purchased 4 new tires and had vehicle aligned. Vibration is still noticeable although not nearly as strong as before. …”
