Example complaints

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

“While doing a low speed u-turn (>20mph) the spokes of my rim separated from the wheel causing the car to spin onto curb. I have yet to receive from anyone a reason for the wheel failure. These were not the stock rims but premium rims installed by the dealer.”
