NHTSA complaint #11464832, filed 2022-05, 118,300 miles“Body is broken where the front sub-frame bolts to. Customer was told that there is permanent body damage to the body frame. They then sold the vehicle undisclosed the fact that the vehicle is too damaged to drive on the road safely.”
NHTSA complaint #11217585, filed 2019-06“I noticed a few chips in the paint near the right front side of the car and hood above the drivers side, last year, about dec 2003. Now the little chips of paint are coming off with a little rain/water/driving. The rimer is still there, just the top coat is coming off. Since the car is six years old it is not covered under warranty.”
