Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Was leaving our local walmart ; and when almost to the intersection; felt the car wheel wobble like I got a flat tire. So I stopped and got out and looked; didn't see any flats ; started to go and a thunk ; and then I couldn't move; both front tires were pointing in opposite directions. Had to have it towed home; and haven't been able to look and see what the problem is because of the weather. I sure am glad I wasn't going down the interstate at that time; is where I was going .”

NHTSA complaint #10300057, filed 2010-01, 50 miles“We have a 2005 Sedona which we love. It's been a great car for us. Unfortunately, we have had ongoing issues with it for some time now. Our main problem and concern right now is with the front end struts and or alignment. The noise and knocking at low speeds (especially when accelerating from a stand-still) is troublesome, but more troublesome is that we constantly need to replace the front tires. We are going on our 4th set of new tires (for the front alone) due to alignment issues. No balancing or alignment work has helped. …”
