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 crossed over sunset and got on 77 S at approximately 10:30 P.M. all of a sudden my vehicle spinned out of control. It skidded to the left, I had no control of the vehicle, it skidded back to the right, spinned around. When the vehicle stopped I was facing traffic. I reported it to my insurance company the next morning. I was the only one in the car. I did not get seriously hurt. I went to the doctor and got myself checked. I had a big bruise on my leg and I was sour for about three weeks. The vehicle is at the body shop for repairs.
