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.
While driving between 45 to 50 mph, consumer hear noise coming from the rear. Consumer was pulling out the road, when suddenly the rear driver side wheel separated from the vehicle and rolled over a quarter of mile, all five lug nuts separated from the wheel. Dealer was notified.
Spare tire winch cable snapped causing spare tire to detach and bounce away behind the car while driving. Nobody was hurt in this incident, but I believe this is a major safety defect.
When traveling on the highway, vehicle cuts off without prior warning, also lights on dashboard flashed on and off, dealership was aware of problem. The vehicle cuts off while driving due to crank sensor failure. While driving right rear wheel jingles. Vehicle cuts off while accelerating, after stopping the vehicle restart and idles up to 1100 RPM at times. Consumer states transmission slips, the dash was rattling and the pedal button on the left steering wheel was installed backwards.
Why did the NHTSA only expand thier investigation to include 16" Firestone tires. I have 17" tires on my vehicle and think they should be looked at also, and possibly included in any future recalls of Firestone tires.( dot number: Tire size: P265/75 17 )
