Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When accelerating to enter a highway, there was a loud clunk and all control was lost as I entered the high speed lane. The engine quit, no brakes and the steering wheel just turned freely and the car rolled to a stop in the high speed lane. It turned out that the rear frame bolts under the engine failed and frame and engine fell down, disconnections the steering. Luckily, no one was hurt as others stopped to direct traffic and push the car to the side of the road. The car is in near perfect condition, no visible rust, no fluid leaks and has only 140,000 miles. …”
