Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had a flat tire, rear driver side tire. I was unaware of the actual mileage that was on my car at that time. Pulled over and changed flat tire with spare doughnut tire (which is a joke). I proceeded to drive off and the ABS light immediately came on and said it was disabled. I continued driving to les schwab tire center in hood river, or.. They said the flat was not repairable and they were unable to sell me 1 tire since my vehicle is awd. I limped back home to portland on the 35 MPH spare tire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10649863, filed 2014-10“I have had the wheel bearing replaced twice in eight months on the front driver's side tire. I just had the wheel bearing replaced on the front passenger side tire. What is going on with this?”
NHTSA complaint #10121713, filed 2005-05“1)when I removed gas cap to fill tank with gas, I heard a hissing sound coming out of the gas tank. When trying to fill tank with gas, hose kept clicking off and would not allow me to put gas in the tank. I went to a different gas station and the same thing happened. I have since been unable to use the car as I can not fill the tank. 2)this second problem has been ongoing since I purchased this car. The service engine soon light keeps coming on a regular basis. I have had this checked out each time and the mechanics always have a hard time identifying the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10230084, filed 2008-06“1. The vehicle will not come out of park without shutting it off if I leave it running and put it in park like at a drive-through etc. Have not had it checked or repaired because out of warranty and cannot afford to fix. 2. The rear window hatch will not open properly. I had the dealer repair once while still under warranty but it is doing it again. 3. Front wheel bearing replaced once and is roaring like it needs to be replaced again. 4. The back middle seat belt fell apart and is too expensive to repair. 5. The vehicle goes through brakes rather quickly. …”
