Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“12/7/16 I have had a problem twice when I had no control of the steering wheel. I report'd it to the dealership in racine, wi. They did not seem concern'd. Some one stated they had never heard of its occurring prior to my statement to them. Another stated it was not dangerous. I stated it was to me. I believe he was the lead salesman. Both times were scary to me. There is some type of device in two places on the steering wheel. They seem to be plastic & are close to a rectangular/square shape. I believe one has a minus sign on the left & a plus sign on the right. …”
