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.
1. tires make a loud "whump whump whump" sound that increase speed and volume as the car accelerates. 2. the noise is tire separation, the noise is constant and continually getting louder. The tires have not actually completely shredded apart yet. 3. we have replaced both cv boots, both half shafts, control arm bushings, had brakes inspected, had an alignment done and noise remains the same.
1.horn button broke and popped off while driving. 2. car will rev by itself between 1000-1500 RPM while coming to a stop. 3. car sometimes has no base idol and will just turn off. 4. check engine light came on, took car to machanic. Manifold intake gasket had to be replaced. Light has gone off but car still revs itself. Sometimes while idoling car will rev between 1500-2000 rpms. 5. both rear struts have been replaced. 6. coupler for rack and pinon had to be replaced.
My 1995 Mazda 626 calls for only 26 psi air pressure in its rear tires. This seems like an extremely low air pressure. On a recent trip to a high altitude area (New Mexico) the tire pressure in the rears indicated less than 20psi cold. Is this air pressure too low and unsafe?
