Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tie rod system on vehicle has been replaced four times due to wear. It has been replaced within the manufacturer's warranty period. Upon inspection of the vehicle during a safety check by the dealer, it was determined that the tie rod needed to be replaced again, only 12,000 miles after the previous replacement. This time it is no longer in warranty. I have spoken to the manufacturer and dealer about this particular problem with the vehicle to see if it is a consistent problem and they will not provide the information to me. …”
