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.
Less than a month after I bought my car, the brakes needed replacement. Less than a month after that incident, my brakes again needed replacement. Two months later, my brakes again needed work. My car failed its yearly inspection due to tie rods. The transmission and the brakes continue to give me problems.
Convertible top accumulating some kind of black substance that hardens and cannot be removed. At the three year mark, the car just began to deteriorate very quickly. Timing belt, convertible stopped working, ABS brakes kick in when not supposed to, exhaust system had to be replaced at 40K miles. Key lock button fell out, cannot get it to stay in. Seat belt assembly fell apart. Interior door handles not made well, loosened and feel as if they may fall off. Cd changer has never worked properly.
I had owned the vehicle for exactly one month when the A/C began to not work. I sent it in to be fixed and exactly 1 week later it was back B/C the A/C was not working again. I also had the vehicle in the shop twice B/C of the brakes. There were other small problems with the car in between those visits. Although the car has high mileage, that should not affect the problems which I have had. I have not owned the car for 1 yr and feel as though I have had way too many problems.
