Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were driving down i40 to little rock and the tread on the tires separated and caused major damage to our vehicle. The tires first started making a clicking sound and then all of the sudden the tread came loose and cause what sounded like an explosion. The ground effects, bumper , gas cover and gas cap were blown off. Any other damage is not known at this time due to it not being looked at by a shop yet.”

My vehicle has less than 50,000 miles and I also had to replace my tires after around 45,000 because of the tie-rod problem. All together this is costing me around $700 which is a lot to spend on a problem that I feel is a result of improper manufacturing.”

NHTSA complaint #10190962, filed 2007-05, 15,000 miles“Outer tie rod ends for both front wheels failed at 39,000 miles probably even sooner.
