Example complaints

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

“I have had my vehicle looked at numerous times since I bought it 3 years ago. There is a odd thumping/humming like sound coming from under the hood or axle area, while driving, at any speed. Nothing has been found. My vehicle shakes occasionally while driving over 45 MPH. My air pressure light continues to be on constantly, even after shelling out the money to have the sensors replaced. I always feel like I have flat tires, although they seem fine when I check them. I am concerned for my safety, my children and other drivers on the road while I am driving. …”
