Example complaints

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

“Upon pulling away from a stoplight and shifting into 2nd gear with a toe lift on the gear shift lever, the shifting linkage broke and fell down. The linkage allowed the shifter arm to fall down and intermittently contact the ground while driving. Using 20x magnification it appears to have failed in bending fatigue.”
