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 the spare tire cable sheared off, resulting in the loss of the spare tire. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that the cable and racket was a set and needed replacement. Consumer informed the mechanic that a recall was not for this vehicle. And as a consumer the payment should rendered on the dealer, not on the consumer.
