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.
Ea 97 007/steering shaft separation: While backing out of driveway vehicle lost control of the steering column which has disconnected from shaft joint. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that this defect was not covered under manufacturer's recall. The steering wheel spun freely due to failure of the fastner for steering column and steering mechanism. The manufacturer should be made aware of this premature failure and should fix it before some one is hurt.
