Example complaints

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

“My wife's 2001 Toyota Camry has an air conditioner odor. We have been lead to believe that it may be caused by the A/C getting too cold, freezing up, and actually causing mold in the A/C system. She has driven the car for 2 1/2 years and now has cancer. We have been unable to do anything to rid the car of the odor. Doesn't exposure to mold, if so, cause health problems? We spent a year trying to locate an odor in the car. Replaced mats, detailed the upholstry, etc.”

NHTSA complaint #10091310, filed 2004-09, 1,000 miles

“In addition to the transmission problem, since I bought the car last august, it has been a nightmare for me. At the time of purchase, the molding on the right side of the car was damaged, the dealer promised they would replace it, they never did, they just painted it, two days later the paint came off. The car was also delivered to me without the wheel nut wrench and the jack handle. …”

NHTSA complaint #755420, filed 2001-12

“Vehicle stalled at 60 MPH. Dealer could not find a cause. The A/C and the fun selector malfunctioned, but the dealer was unable to fix it. The vehicle starts and stalls immediately. The dealer installed a new circuit opening realy and the problem was solved.”
