Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Grinding noise in steering when turning the steering wheel while driving and especially while sitting still. Steering is not as responsive as it use to be. This has evolved over time while being used for the last year, it didn't happen all of a sudden. It has gotten to the point where we are afraid to drive it.”
