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 passenger side rear wheel had an improper casting from the factory. The rim had a failure at freeway speed with no damage, signs of impact, or puncture to tire. The tire remained on its bead while vehicle came to a full and complete stop. The rim failed by having a two inch hole blowout from the inside of the rim causing a sudden loss of pressure to the wheel. There was no contact with any road debris or hazards. The flaw was identified by an excess amount of wheel weight, used in the tire balancing process, within 2 inches of failure signifying a lack of material in that area of the rim.
