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.
My car was driving very shaky and the alignment was off significantly. This lasted approximately two days before my front left tire blew up in front of my residence which caused the left frame to pop out. The front left tire was a Firestone supreme si P185-65R14 M+S. I also have a right front tire of the same tire brand and model that has significant tread wear, which causes me great concern.
Excessive tire wear in the front....head gasket blown and leaking oil badly...excessive gas consumption, (180 miles to a 12 gallon tank) dashboard cluster (all guages including, speedodmeter, odometer, and fuel and temp guages) does not work at all now...was shorting out and coming on from time to time but does not work at all now....( dot number: Tire size: P165/80R13 )
