Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just found out that the rear suspension cross-member (part # 51206-12190) in my 2004 Toyota matrix is about to fail due to rust. While doing something else my mechanic happened to notice the issue. He showed me the problem and said it would be dangerous to drive the car. The car has low mileage for being 16 years old (about 8k a year). This car was built in canada and sold in new york state so it should have been designed to take many years of wet/winter road conditions. If my car had 16k miles per year it would only be 8 years old. …”
