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.

Steering column shaft upper was replaced due to vehicle making a loud metal to metal noise, and getting hard to steer. Also, problem occurred with air bag light illuminating. Dealer aware of problem.
