Example complaints

“When driving my car started leaning to the left driver's side. I haven't hit anything or been in a car accident. Anytime I am at a 25+ speed it is more noticeable, and very much so on the highway. Nothing else seems wrong with the car but I'm afraid this may do other damage to the car. As I have been researching for recalls there seem to be others with a similar problem as this.”
NHTSA complaint #10705082, filed 2015-04, 62,000 miles“While driving on I-696 in michigan at 70 MPH with my wife and another person, suddenly my car started to wobble as if I had a flat tire.

The day after memorial day I took the Jeep into the tire repair store. I needed a new tire and a new air sensor valve stem for the wheel. …”
