Example complaints

“My tires keep going flat- 2002 Mazda 626. The first flat tire was about 6 months ago. The mechanic who changed it out for me pointed out that my tire looked like it was in good shape (no holes) but also looked like my tires are leaning in - which is putting the wear/tear on the inside threading, thus wearing out faster (all the weight of the car leaning on edge of tires). Second flat 2 months ago, and thrid this week, being told the same thing. I was also told this had nothing to do with alignment. I do not need an alignment. . …”
NHTSA complaint #10108169, filed 2005-01“Purchased this vehicle in 2002, there is a smell like mildew coming from the A/C had it tested- high mold spore counts in cabin. The air bag light goes on and off. Are these going to work if I should need them? This vehicle has been in the shop 50 times within 3 years for these problems and many more.”
