Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Creak,pop,clunk noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The noise is noticeable during slow parking lot maneuvers, and is mostly evident in a completely stopped condition when turning the steering wheel left and right. I spend money trying to get my car fit, and no one could find what the problem was.”
