Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the I-10 expressway in new orleans, the steering mechanism stopped working, by the grace of god, I did not crash into other vehicles. I immediately got off the I-10 heading towards my brother's home to tell him about my situation. He wasn't home. I called him on the cell phone. He told me to park the vehicle and call triple a. As I was backing out of his driveway to park the Land Rover, the steering wheel spun like a top with no control of the vehicle. Triple a arrived and discovered a steering bolt separation. …”
