Example complaints

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

“It was around 8:00pm. I was driving in light traffic around 25 MPH heading west on alondra bl crossing downey ave in the city of paramount, when all of a sudden I heard screeching and the rear of the car started swaying side to side. I stepped on the breaks and the rear end of the car started turning to the left going in to the left lane. Cars on the left lane had to slam on the breaks to avoid colliding with me. I was able to slowly pull over to the side of the road. I called a mechanic, after inspecting the car he informed me that the suspension control arm on the rear driver side broke. …”
