Example complaints

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

“I bought this vehicle and put $423 into the front end replacing rotors, brakes, wheel bearings, hub assembly and control arm bushings only to take it to a garage to find out why it was still impossible to drive safely. I was told by two different garages that it isn't safe to drive because the struts and whole front end is damaged beyond repair that would cost more than the vehicle is worth. Also the car dealership has removed the airbags and now made it nonstickerable. You can't drive it without the vehicle feeling like the front end is gonna fall out and is unable to control the steering.”

“I have a 2207 Jeep compass. My 16 year old daughter was driving down the road at a speed of 40 miles per hour and the air curtains on both side of the vehicles deployed on their own. The car stalled immediately in the road. We took the Jeep for repair and it was kept at the dealership for 29 days. They have released the Jeep back to me, but the Jeep company does not have an explanation as to whey it happened. They also cannot tell me that it will not happen again. This is my sixteen year old daughters car. …”
