Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought this car on june 22,2011. On that day I told the dealer that the speedometer was acting erratic,jumping up and down. At the time, it wasn't affecting the speed. They said they know and just wait and see what happens. About a month or so later,the speedometer stopped working, causing the car to hesitate a little. I brought it back and they got a cable from a used contour and rigged it so it would work. So they claim.I was also told they just repaired the cable differently. Regardless,they said they repaired it. …”

NHTSA complaint #10134097, filed 2005-08, 45,800 miles“Throttle sticks at wide open position. This caused damage to the transmission, which now grinds when shifting into third gear. The driveshaft was replaced due to noise and vibration at a cost of $1,100.00, but this did not fix the problem. The heater fan switch has failed twice. The first time it was covered under a voluntary program.”
NHTSA complaint #719119, filed 2000-02“Rpms running at 400-600 RPM's in drive, idle causes it to shake. Normally it runs 800-1000rpms. Consumer went to dealer regarding TSB, understanding that it was not a recall. Transmission is going bad because it's too close to engine. Dealer will fix the problem at consumer's cost.”
