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.
Was driving after dark last night and my headlights just stopped working (both of them) almost caused another car to hit me, because they could not see me. I pulled over and proceeded to check the fuses, etc and they were all fine and the high beams and parking lights worked, just not the headlights. Took the car to the place I bought it from and after 2 hours his mechanics figured out that it was the relay switch that had blown and had to be replaced.
When the brakes were applied, the front end pulled excessively to the right or left. Also, when making turns, consumer heard a loud "grinding" coming from the front end. Dealer diagnosed that the entire front end needed to be replaced due to ball joint failure. The whining noise was heard when going around curves. The marker lights had become inoperative when pulling out of "int" switch and the head lamp switch was replaced, and upon acceleration, there was a pinging noise in the passing gear.. the tie rods were also replaced.
