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.
1999 Buick Regal had tires replaced at 30,000 miles. Customer states that the tires do not hold air pressure so the wheels need to be replaced. The consumer stated the wheels were manufactured out of aluminum with defective chrome coatings. The consumer stated the tires would not adhere to the chrome properly.
Aluminum wheels caused the tires to leak, due to cracking & peeling. Both back tires had to be replaced at cost of $400. Dealer refused to cover repair.
Exterior mirror glass vibrates while driving causing blurred vision. Had one side replaced under warranty. 6 months later, both sides do it. Impossible to see clearly!!! chrome coating on wheels peeling off. Pieces will stick to the ABS sensor causing fault. One occasion it made brakes fail almost causing accident.
