Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR HAD CONTROL PROBLEMS, AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY JUMP AND BOUNCE AND BECOME DANGEROUSLY UNCONTROLLABLE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO PAUL WILLIAMS TIRE COMPANY ON LAKE STREET IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A SUSPENSION PROBLEM SUCH AS SHOCKS, ETC. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE BOLTS HAD CORRODED OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS BOUNCING ON THE FRAME AND THIS WAS CAUSING ALL MY PROBLEMS. IT COST $710 TO REPAIR - $617 FOR THE REPAIR AND $93 FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY HAD TROUBLE OBTAINING THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR. *AK
