Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Toyota Camry - situation where the rear brake lines (covered and cannot be seen) have corroded through. My Camry recently had one of the lines fail (both brake lines and 3 fuel lines have severe corrosion under the shield) and I'm lucky I was able to stop without hitting anything or anybody. This is a very poor design for such areas as mine (syracuse, ny) where there is significant salt use during the winter months. The shield actually promotes corrosion by retaining winter slush, mud and salt. …”
