Example complaints

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

“I am reporting last second direction changes given by my garmin nuvi 42 GPS navigation device. On exit 57 off i20 west to i75/85 the device changed from directing to join i75/85 south to join i75/85 north with less than 300 feet to make the change. Also, the device made a similar last second direction change while traveling north on i75/85. It indicated that I should be in the left 3 lanes but that I was to continue to i75 north. Then it changed with only 300 feet remaining to say that I was to take i85 north. I have reported this to garmin. …”

“Most vw Jetta 2009 owners are complaining about the excessive wind noise around the a-pillars on the sedans. It is so loud the it gives you a headache and increases drivers fatigue. Many magazines have written about the issue and have been told by vw that they have a fix. To date they do not.”
