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.
Hi, on my commute home from work, I was getting ready to exit the highway by decelerating. My car swerved and almost lost control when I began to press the brakes. There were no cars at 7am on the weekend, so I was able to coast to the light at the end of the 1/4 mile exit ramp. I continue home, but feel the car kicking out the rear end when I brake. At significantly lower speeds I look in the mirror as I brake and notice my rear right wheel turning inwards. I get home and when I wake up I lifted the car and checked to see what it was. The safety issue is that the rear bracket welded to the cross member that holds the rear tie rod craked.
