This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving in reverse from the driveway to the street consumer heard a loud noise, on investigation by independent mechanic front coil spring on the driver's side broke and punctured the tire. Also, the stabilizer bar broke. If the car had moved it would have been in a wreck, and possibly in roll over.
Stabilizer bar in the rear wheels broke and the rear wheels were ready to come off our car. If we had not pulled off the freeway exactly when we did, everyone in our automobile would most likely have been killed. The left rear wheel started coming off approximately two blocks after we exited the freeway. The automobile went out of control, and we had to have our brand new Ford Taurus towed to our car dealership. Our dealer refused to take our car back, after our car had three safety problems, and we are now in litigation.
