Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My power steering failed as I was pulling out of a parking space. I heard a faint noise like a marble dropping onto a surface and rolling as I started the car. I quickly realized I was not able to steer the car. I had the car towed to my mechanic. He informed me that the bolt on the idler pulley broke, and part of this bolt fell into the engine. When I asked him how this could happen, he informed me that he believed it was due to the faulty design - placing too much pressure on this bolt, causing it to eventually break in two. …”
