Example complaints

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

“The self canceling turn signals don't function safely during turning maneuvers. Stationary splash guard mounted over the steering tires blocked safe access to the outer windshield and prohibited windshield cleaning. It took 95 pounds of force to press the clutch pedal. The gearshift stick was mounted too far to the right and to far too the rear, relative to the location of the driver's seat. The driver's seat is mounted too far forward. The right front power rearview mirrors were not mounted securely in their housings and as a result they vibrate. …”
