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 was sold a vehicle with "new" tires. I've only had the vehicle about 6 months and found out the tires were made in 2011 and starting to deteriorate so I had to buy actual new tires. I did not have an accident but feel there could have been a tire blowout. Luckily I had run over a bolt and was trying to get a tire repair when the tire place told me about the bad condition of all four tires. The dealership first did not believe me but when I showed them a picture they said they can sell tires up to 8 years old as new if they were not previously on a vehicle. I don't know if that is true but if the tires were starting to dry rot it seems like a bad idea and certainly unethical if not illegal.
