Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When the vehicle is accelerating there is a substantial amount of shaking in the front end. It gets very bad between 50-60 MPH. I have had all the tires replaced because I thought it was the alignment, and I have brought the car to at least 3 different shops and all 3 have no idea what is causing the shaking. I have replaced the front rods, the front hub assemblies, the shocks and the tires all in an attempt to fix the issue. Because of the shaking it constantly destroys my front hub assemblies which I have had to replace 2 times in the past 2 years. …”
