Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was test driving the car. I made a left turn on a gravel road. I expected the front wheels to pull me through the turn, but the rear wheels pushed me at a 300 angle into a guardrail off the road. The front wheels slid sideways. Once this happened it was too late to stop. The dealer accused me of negligence, though the salesman instructed me to drive on this road. I am now involved in a lawsuit. I don't know what I could have done.”
NHTSA complaint #715148, filed 1999-11“While driving about 50 MPH drive stopped on brake pedal to prevent hitting a car that was turning left. While going around the vehicle in front, went to the right side of vehicle and through gravel, wheel fell off due to nuts: bolts shearing off,and vehicle went off the road.
