Example complaints

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

“While driving, the steering wheel is loose and easily turns left, almost on its own. Where as turning it to the right is tight and more difficult. This makes driving very difficult and dangerous, especially on windy days. I've read about it here and there online while trying to figure out whats happening and I am not the only person who has had this issue. One person stated that the steering sensor needed alignment.”

NHTSA complaint #10959890, filed 2017-03, 50,000 miles
