Example complaints

“The car I bought back in 2014. I rarely drive. After carrying out many repairs from 2014 to 2017, the car will run in parallel and feel that it is impossible to control the steering wheel. There is also a problem with the suspension. In march 2017, a one-week overhaul will be carried out.”
NHTSA complaint #11102254, filed 2018-06, 30 miles“Took vehicle in to Lexus dealership and was notified of rack & pinion issue, quoted $1256.00 to fix. After talking to several people I have realized how common this problem has always been in these vehicles and it has not been addressed by Lexus even after so many people with same issue keep coming forward. The dealership just says its part of maintenance, this has never been the case before in any other car I have owned. This needs to be addressed”
NHTSA complaint #10807656, filed 2015-12, 110,041 miles“I was driving in the passing lane at about 55 MPH. The road was straight and level. The road was covered with a thin coating of slush. While driving the alarm signal began beeping. I took my foot off of the accelerator. The car then began drifting to the left, in the next few seconds the left wheels were 2 feet over the left lane. I tried to get the car back into the lane but the steering did not respond. A few seconds later the car began to drift to the right and rotate to the right. I then applied the brakes but they had little effect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10578104, filed 2014-04, 45,000 miles“Steering column rattling / clinging. This is my second complaint. This is a serious problem that needs to be address by the manufacturer. Hope we will not wait until somebody or a family loses their life.”
