Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving about 70mph along the beeline highway outside of phoenix az and negotiating a gentle curve in the road. It was about 1:30pm on a clear day. I felt a strong lurch (thought I had been hit from behind although I knew there were no cars around me) almost immediately I attempted to straighten the wheel and found myself unable to turn the steering wheel. The car mounted the median road divider, came down, spun 360 degrees and gently drifted to the side of the road. I was not injured but the car was totaled. …”
