Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Before the doors jammed/the automatic locks began to move by themselves - not one of the doors jammed, but all four- also the ABS has never worked properly since the purchase of the car- I could understand if it was the motor that cause the problem, but each of my doors, and the unheard of prices the dealer was charging, before finally saying they can not open the doors at all.”
NHTSA complaint #722342, filed 2000-05“Was going around a corner at 45mph when subframe separated. Driver heard a loud noise. Managed to pull over. Steering wheel was very difficult. Had vehicle towed home.”
