Example complaints

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

“When I bought this car, I knew it had been in a wreck because the hood and trunk did not line up. Then I found out that 3 out of 4 wheel bearings were bad, but the auto dealer would not fix this, either. Is there any action I can take against them?”
