Example complaints

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

“This is my mother's car, not mine, she's 54 years old and she does not drive crazy. Last week her front spring suspension broke for no reason. I'm a mechanic, and I've never even heard of that kind of failure, it had to be a manufacturer defect. When she went at the dealer (which wasn't where she bought the car) they said that her car wasn't under warranty, so it would cost a $120 plus labor to repair the car. So she bought a used part and had it replaced. …”
