Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I got a recall for a rusted sub frame, front and back in which one has a hole from rust. I take it to courtesys in altoona, pa. The guy earnie tellsme there will be parts surrounding the subframe not included with the recall that must be paid for out of pocket. I think everything to fix my car should be covered. They saw a woman coming! Pisses me off to no end.”
NHTSA complaint #11344269, filed 2020-08, 77,000 miles“The etc light comes on and the vehicle won't go when stepping on the gas. The engine cuts off in the middle of driving. Some days it starts some days it doesn't. Replaced the relay switches twice and the etc. Neither seems to help. I drive a highway to work everyday and I pray that if it acts up, I can find a place to pull over”
NHTSA complaint #11205377, filed 2019-05, 115,000 miles“While I was driving to work, the car started to feel like it was going over a speed bump, it was pushing forward but just enough for me to get out of the road into a gas station. When I finally stopped, I turned the car off and back on. It would start but would not move. Took it to a transmission shop and that what they said is the problem. I only have about 160k miles and should not have to replace my transmission so soon!”
NHTSA complaint #11301055, filed 2020-01, 160,000 miles“After noticing my rear tires wearing uneven, we took our car in to have the rear suspension inspected. We got a call telling us the rear subframe had rusted through and broke.”
