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.

Power steering pump has a leak. Transmission clutches burned out requiring replacement. Water pump failed along with failing timing belt & timing belt tensioner causing needed replacement. Engine has several oil leaks. Rack & pinion system is shifting, causing a thumping sound and vehicle shifting while cornering at times. Selt belt on drivers side doesn't retract properly. Brakes perform poorly, requiring excessive pedal to stop vehicle. Fuel rail is leaking fuel, awaiting mechanic determination if it's covered under the recall.
