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.
My headlights are very dim, fortunately I have not crashed at this point but I have swerved and at near accident situations. I cannot see in the dark and I am forced to use my high beams. Around summer of 2010, I crashed M Y car on a curve going to san francisco, ca on highway 85. As I was about to curve I slowly went from 65 mph to 25 mph or a bit lower to curve correctly. My steering wheel locked and I was not able to curve appropriately so my car continued straight and hit the side of the curve (luckily it was blocked by a steel highway fence). I replaced the drivers door and front bumper with an awful off color paint job. I did not make a police report and I did not contact my insurance. I fixed my car and now I am afraid it might happen again. Property damage of my car was done. My window no longer works and my key entry is no longer functioning as well due to the crash.
While driving at approximately 40 mph felt a slight loss of power which was corrected by itself. A minute later, wheels locked up, and vehicle came to a stop. Transmission repair shop informed consumer that transaxle cracked and it broke off where it was attached to the body. Differential unit locking was torn up, and center support was wiped out. Transfer case also broke where it went onto the body. Dealer also stated that there was chunks of metal found from the differential drain plug. Consumer had electrical problems with vehicle including starting problems. Strut failure. Key and lock problems. Windshield wipers faulty. Interior and brake light failure.
