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.
I was driving when my spare tire fell off and I feel that the matter could have been much worse if I was driving on the highway when it happend. I also have a 9 month old baby that was in the truck when it happened. This vehicle has been nothing but problems for us and it seems like it just keeps getting worse.
The cable holding the spare tire snapped and the tire fell. This happened while I was driving slowly in a pasture but I make many trips thru Chicago on the interstate. I wonder if this is a flawed design or if there is something I can do to insure this won't happen again in traffic. I don't know how to find out if this is a frequent occurrence.

The cable holding the spare tire under the chasis aparrently snapped, thereby releasing the spare onto the roadway. The tire crossed two lanes of traffic and ended up on the sidewalk. This could have been catostrophic had it hit another vehicle or a pedestrian!!
Spare wheel fell from its position under rear of car. Whatever was holding wheel broke. Car was in motion (35mph) on busy street in guadalajara, Mexico. A miracle an accident and substantial damage was averted.
The cable that supports the spare tire that is positioned underneath vehicle broke when consumer drove over a dip that was in the street, causing the tire to dismount. Dealer has been contacted.
