Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My wife was driving down the road and made a left turn. She heard a loud popping noise and suddenly the wheels jerked to the left, sending her into a parked car. The left front wheel was subsequently unresponsive to steering. Upon evaluation by a mechanic, the front left spindle had snapped and also in the process had broken the left side tie rod. The parts were replaced. This complaint is being filed because there had been no undue stress on the spindle; it just failed outright with no warning. The car had been serviced and had tires rotated and balanced at a shop 1 week prior.”
