Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Left front spring in macpherson strut snapped at the bottom. The point of the break was heavily rusted. Repair had to be made with used parts, costing about $800, as aftermarket parts for this vehicle are not available, and dealer parts are overpriced to almost being at vehicle blue book value.”
NHTSA complaint #10588754, filed 2014-05, 61,500 miles“While driving 50-70 MPH front end shakes uncontrollably. The brakes squeak and the rotors warped. The metallic surface area rusted abnormally from morning compensation. The wheels wobbled as a result of the warped rotors.”
