NHTSA complaint #10188161, filed 2007-04, 130,000 miles“I bought a used car from the dealer, but the car has a problem. The salesman who sold me the car at the dealer told me that they were going to fix it and they tried to fix it 4 times already. After 4 tries the problem is still there. I think they are waiting for the 30 day guarantee to end before I do anything about it, so then I need to pay for the repairs myself. They keep telling that the car is fixed, but the problem is still there. I can feel the problem every time I drive, and they admit that they can feel it as well, when they test drive the car.”

NHTSA complaint #10064289, filed 2004-03, 43,388 miles“Drivers side front ball joint broke while driving in the rain, car slid, I did manage to miss the semi's tires the car was headed for. After checking the ntsa web page I find that there have been other complaints/recals on the ball joint and suspension system, I have never received any information reguarding this. I did pay dearly to have the one set of ball joint repaired. Is the recall still avaliable for the rest of the ball joints and the suspension system. My car only has 38k miles on it and is falling apart. Please help.”
