Example complaints

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

“I don't know who to check with, whether these items are recalled or a major problem. I hope you find the information useful. I have repaired and paid for the transmission. I need to know what to do about the airbag and paint. People in the car business around town have told me the company needs to know but I can't seem to reach them. If there is a recall, I would appreciate assistance on the cost of repairs. Date of incident is approximate time frame I noticed the problems.”
