Example complaints

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

“The air conditioning condensor is positioned directly in the front of the vehicle. Nothing protects the unit (bumper, plasic cover, etc). A rock can easily strike the unit resulting in damage. This could be a fire hazard, as the unit contains freon.”
