Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My car started shaking at speeds of 15 to 20 MPH and pulling hard to the right. When I took the car into the dealership they informed me that I must have hit something at a fast speed because my rim was severly bent. Then they proceeded to tell me there were several other problems wrong. The car was almost at 48,000 miles. I paid out of pocket, simply taking their word for it. Then I kept losing air out of another tire on the opposite side. At this time I figured it was the tire that I purchased a few months earlier. I had the tech. …”
