Example complaints

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

“The flares that are attached to the fenders keep coming off while driving. They have come off four times now and pose a safety threat to me and others on the highway. I currently have three flares taped to the vehicle to prevent their coming off while driving. If these flares come off it is possible they could hit other vehicles on the highway posing a threat to their safety.”

“I purchased a 2010 Toyota Highlander from fredericksburg, virginia location. The vehicle rode smooth until I had its first serviced at Toyota. The vehicle rode like a jeep, rock and rolling, at normal driving speed and highly at low speed. All this started after the first vehicle service. I traded in my 2006 for 2010 and it had the same problem. For the 2006, I purchased new rims, tires, lugs, wheel balancing and full front end alignment. The vehicle still rode the same rocking and rolling. In the past, I have work as system engineer on a military project. …”

“Rear wheel hubs. I replaced the right rear wheel hub at about 6500 miles and 92000 miles. I replaced the left rear wheel hub at about 85000 miles. Is there an issue with these items wearing out prematurely? I have been driving for over 50 year and have never had an issue like this.”
