Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have not had an accident, however when the streets are wet, my engine light goes on and the power steering goes off. This has happened twice this week and have had to leave the road because I could not steer. I took the car to ron norris dealership in titusville, florida and was told there was nothing they could do. I would hate to get hurt myself or kill someone else. What can I do?”
