Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Flapping sound on driver side when speeding. My vehicle makes a flapping sound when I speed more than 65 MPH. I can hear it on the driver side only. It causes the steering wheel to vibrate. I had the shocks replaced and it still makes the sound.”
NHTSA complaint #11075817, filed 2018-03, 75,000 miles“Takata recall I was driving my car and came to a stop sign and the whole car shut off, while I was in drive. My battery was corroded and so we thought that was the issue and changed the battery and the problem worsended up until yesterday while I was riding to work, I arrived at a stop light and before the light even turned red the whole car shut off and locked up. The battery is new, oil had been changed hat same day as the air filter and the mass airflow sensor were changed. The mass airflow sensor was changed because that's what I was told was why my engine light was on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11114267, filed 2018-07, 140,000 miles“At random times the vdc off indicator will turn on while driving. It can not be turned off and it is impossible for your car to go over 40 MPH without constant jerking. You have to pull over, shut down and restart your car multiple times until the indicator doesn't come back on. Some times this is impossible and will never go away until car has been shut off for an hour or so. This can occur at any time when the car is in motion or even at a stop light, the indicator will come on and the jerking will begin. Very dangerous.”
