“About 6 months after purchasing my car I noticed my dash board starting to creak and make noises, within 2 months the left dash board split and now 2 years later so has the right side of the dash board cracked. My husband details my car and keeps the dash protected but to no avail I am driving around with a creaking and cracked dash board.”
NHTSA complaint #10284036, filed 2009-09, 20,000 miles“I am writing a complaint regarding my car. I purchased the vehicle in 2006. I had to replace the stabilizer pin, wheel bearings, front brakes and it seems like something is wrong in the steering wheel. Parts inside of the car are falling off. I've had to buy new tires due to all these front end problems with the car and not knowing until it has caused a problem somewhere else. Now the tires that I purchased about a 1 1/2 year ago is now very worn from these front end problems with the car. I am very upset because I feel like, I have been robbed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11051221, filed 2017-11“I have a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, and it seems to have paint problems. It is a blue colored car and the least little scatch shows up. Not only that, there seems to be no bottom coat of paint, therefore exposing the metal. Also, the windshield cracked without force or hit...it started from the bottom..also the windshield wipers outer layer melted.”
