Example complaints

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

“I have had to replace the windshield twice within the last four years because of a crack which develops from the point where the rear view mirror attaches to the window. A 12 to 15 inch vertical crack has developed either during or after the vehicle has been washed. The vehicle has only been used for commuting purposes, not off roading.”

NHTSA complaint #10198479, filed 2007-08, 55,715 miles

“The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the windshield wiper motor stopped functioning while the wipers were in the upright position. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where the mechanic was unable to even inspect the motor. The vehicle was then taken to a service dealer, who determined that the wiper motor housing was completely rusted. There were no immediate repairs made, however the replacement part was ordered.”
