Example complaints

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

“Vehicle sways, wonders on the road and is uncontrollable. Also, it feels as though something is loose under the front end. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions, and I've been told by the mechanic that he feels exactly that which I am describing but there is nothing wrong and that other vehicles were driven and that they too did the same thing. This is a very dangerous obstacle to have control of a motor vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #10054733, filed 2004-01, 3 miles
