Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2008: “The subframe on the passenger rear side broke due to rust. Both subframes are rusted front and back but the rest of the underneath of the car is perfect. I need it replaced and the dealer said they can not even get the part anymore. So my car is pretty much totaled. The SUV is only 12 years old. That is pathetic.”
