Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I stopped at a light, the when I went to make a left turn my dash began to flash a service required light at me. After doing some investigation, it turns out that it is an extremely well known and unaddressed issue with the car's acd pump failing. It's a design flaw that costs thousands of dollars to fix, but failure of the part is practically guaranteed. Why there's no recall yet is completely ridiculous.”
NHTSA complaint #10654289, filed 2014-11, 75,000 miles“I was traveling at approximately 45-50 MPH when my awd service required light came on. Steering /traction on the car was immediately different and not as easy as normal.”
NHTSA complaint #10594548, filed 2014-05, 70,000 miles“2009 mitsubshi Lancer Ralliart pulls hard to right at all times. Took to dealer they said there's nothing they can do about it. Took to a suspension shop said manufacture set camber is off. I have went thru my third set of front tires in only 45,000 miles. I believe this should be investigated for safety.”
