Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving on highway 522 going 60mph at 11:30pm. The highway was smooth and had no bumps then randomly the wheel on the rear passenger side broke off the car and went flying. Police officers and state troopers looked for the wheel and they couldn't find it. Luckily I remembered in drivers ed that when a tire blows out (even though this situation is a little different) you firmly hold onto the steering wheel and hold it straight. The car then straightened out and stopped once I ran into the railing.”
NHTSA complaint #11316636, filed 2020-03, 80,000 miles“Steering wheel turns too easily to have a safe amount of control over the vehicle. There is very little traction where the tires meet the roads. I spent $700.00 on cooper tires thinking this would help, but still car slides over the ground. I checked to see if the traction control was off but that was not the case. This is a very dangerous car. I paid cash for my car and have no other recourse but to keep it. I have no more money. Specifically, when the car is in motion there is very little stability or traction on the road, and it is very scary. …”
