Example complaints

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

“1) my 1987 delta 88 Oldsmobile will not steer left when cold, which is very dangerous when turning at a busy intersection. 2) my brakes have been repaired several times because they keep pulsating. This wears out my tires very fast. 3) when first cranked, it will drive for a mile at a medium rate of speed without touching the accelerator because the idle is messed up, even though it has been adjusted. 4) the windshield washer has never worked. All these things continually happen the 5 years I've owned it.”

NHTSA complaint #10054367, filed 2004-01
