Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently bought a Smart for two car from a person in st. Louis, technically it was used but on had less than 200 miles on it. I then drove it home to indiana. According to the owners manual, supposedly there is a card in the glove box that you send in if you buy the car used, that way the Smart headquarters knows where the car is, who the new owner is, and how to reach you in case of a recall. The card was missing so I called the 800 number of Smart hq to see if they could register the car for me over the phone. They said they could not, that the dealer has to do that. …”
