Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When turning left or right with steering wheel there is a quarter of a turn before the vehicle starts to turn and when traveling on the freeway this causes me to drift into other lanes . This delay when I turn the steering wheel and the car doesn't turn is very scary. It is almost like when you hit an ice patch and apply the breaks and the vehicle keeps going in the forward direction”

NHTSA complaint #10260404, filed 2009-03, 80,000 miles“Nhtsa recall number 11v-244 recall, manufacturer recall number: r1108. I recently purchased this vehicle which was in seattle wa. I live in illinois and took this car yesterday to anderson Nissan in rockford, il for the open recall. I was told that their inspection showed no rust and due to the life of this car, no further action will be taken on this recall. My concern is that now that this car will be exposed to snow and salt, it will rust!! This car is in good condition and I hope to get many more years out of it (odometer is 152,500 miles). …”
