Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I am on the highway and I'm going at faster speed then on the city street there is a wobble and my truck feels as if it is going to flip over or something. Also when I am on the city streets and drive over and uneven pavement I get the same wobble or sometimes it feels as if my truck is being lifted off the ground.”
NHTSA complaint #11234461, filed 2019-07, 5 miles“All buttons except cruise control on the steering wheel have quit working. The horn won't work either. When it quit working the volume buttons started acting up then it all just quit at once. I'm sure if all that has stopped working then the air bag won't either. I believe it's the clock spring causing all this chaos.”
NHTSA complaint #11252104, filed 2019-08, 83,000 miles“The flange bolt broke in my steering column while changing to the left lane. The steering wheel turned freely and was disconnected to the front tires. Damage was also done to the clock spring and it had to be replaced. If this happened on the highway I could have injured myself and others!”

At first, I thought my carpet had been stuck but I quickly realized that this was not the case. Being I had a manual shift, I immediately was able to shift into neutral. …”
NHTSA complaint #10749607, filed 2015-08, 10,317 miles“The steering wheel has a 2 play and is causing me to compensate on every drive now. This has started approximatly 10,000 mile previous, but has increased steadily over the past few months. I'm told I need a new steering gear box installed.”
