Example complaints

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

“While driving 60 MPH on route 84-mass pike(which is a freshly paved road) I noticed something go wrong with the back tires causing the vehicle to spin out of control. Luckily, after doing a full 360 I was able to gain control of the car and pulled over. I had to the car towed to a service center in which they told me I had broke the tie rod when I went out of control. The reason I went out of control in the first place was due to a faulty tie rod that had broken for absolutely no reason. The weather that day was 50 degrees and had been 57 the day before meaning absolutely no black ice. …”
