Example complaints

“A/c stopped working - instead of cold, it blowing hot air - while returning from the trip (~4hhs). After that, on ~45m/h road - I felt a smell and saw smoke came from under the hood. Had to call fire department, luckily car/engine did not flame up. Car is in repair shop now. It was not only a fire hazard, but also probably health too: I have been driving and breathing whatever is burning ?!”
NHTSA complaint #10279852, filed 2009-08, 29,500 miles“We were driving 65mph on the I-15 freeway in centerville utah and the sunroof exploded with tremendous force, the sunroof was closed and we were not near an over pass, glass shot into the car and luckily no one was injured, if there would have been some one in the back seat they would have been blasted with glass. There was broken glass from the front floor area to the rear cargo area with most of it in the back seat. After inspection it was clear that the glass that remained was lifted upward away from the roof. …”
