Example complaints

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

“On march 3, 2006, I went to the metro Volkswagen to have my inspection and an oil change done. The service rep told me I had a small hole in my oil pan, so I agreed to replace the pan. The next morning when I started my car it shut off three times. Since then, my car has shut off every time I start it. If I pull off before the car completely heats up, the car shuts off in mid drive. This causes me to pull over and restart the car and hold my foot on the gas in order to keep the car from shutting down. …”

NHTSA complaint #10158933, filed 2006-06

“Pop-out cup holder broke twice. Replaced once, I havn't bothered to replace it a second time. The spring pops out of the arm that holds the cup in place. I use the cup holder every day, as most commuters do.”

NHTSA complaint #10003266, filed 2003-01

“Glove box door hinge broke. Replaced twice. I replaced the door myself the second time and found that lubricating the hydralic mechanism reduced the stress on the hinge.”
