Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear passenger suspension system has failed and the tire is sitting on the tire-well. The frame appears to be loose due to rust and has caused the spring coil to pop out and wobble uncontrollably. I was driving when this incident occurred and it would begin to fish tail around 40mph or when I would hit bumps, make turns or switch lanes.”
NHTSA complaint #10926987, filed 2016-11, 135,600 miles“Without prior difficulty or warning, the struts failed, and the hatch dropped on the consumer's head, knocked her to the ground and caused a severe neck injury. The struts were replaced at the consumer's expense. Scc”
