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.
The contact owns a 1996 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that while the driver was traveling 65 mph, the lower control arm failed, the tire turned sideways into the fender and the vehicle dropped to the ground. The vehicle was towed his residence. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The contact called the manufacturer and referenced recall 02V341000 (suspension:front:control arm:lower arm) but was informed that the vehicle was not included. The current and failure mileages were approximately 120,000.
While driving at 40 mph there was a loud cracking noise coming from the left side of the vehicle, and the vehicle vibrated when driving at any speed. Also, when applying the brakes the vehicle will pull to the right.
