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.
Wheel alignment was off due to corrosion. All four tires were warped, and needed to be replaced. Dealership was aware of problem. The dealer replaced rear right and left side lower control arms and bushings to correct the alignment problem. The driver side mirror had failed and was installed by the dealer. (Continental tire size P215/60R16)

Steering wheel will shimmy and vibrate when driving at highway speeds and on flat surface. It is normal characteristic, defect cannot be fixed. Dealer tried to fix the problem three times without success. The dealer replaced half shaft several times too.
When driving betwwen 45 mph-65 mph steering will vibrate/ it will shake. Also, vibration can be felt inside the vehicle. Dealer claimed defect was due to tire problem. But, dealer has balanced tires 4 times, and replaced all 4 tires, and vibration still occurs. In addition, brake light has become stuck and will not turn off.
When vehicle is loaded with about 600 pounds and when turning/ driving vehicle makes noise at the bottom where the exhaust pipe is located. But, when driving on the highway it won't make noise. Apparently the exhaust pipe makes contact whenever traveling over bumps in the road. Owner concerned that damage could be done to the pipe.
