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.
On 22 April 2002 at approximately 5:35 pm while driving on I-10 West near lordsburg, nm my van started to vibrate violently. I assumed it was uneven pavement however when I slowed down the vibration diminished but did not cease. Not sure what the problem was I exited and stopped for the day. The next morning while inspecting the car I noticed the passenger side rear tire was coming apart (badly). I had the damaged tire changed and the others inspected. The other tires appeared fine. I bought the tires new in April 1999. They have approximately 34,000 miles on them. I still have the damaged tire. Do you want it? please feel free to contact me.
Tires had to be replaced at 20000 miles, serpentine belt failed on 4 seperate occasions, each occasion the power steering was lost causing a severe accident hazard, brakes failed without warning - replaced at 20000 miles, 2 freeze plugs failed without warning causing all antifreeze to leak out of car, front wipers go on without warning - at no specific speed, weather condition etc., all 12 lifters failed 2 times in the period of 1 month, turn signal will not turn off, and other minor miscellaneous problems.( dot number: )
