Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

CLUNKING NOISE UNDER DRIVER'S FLOORBOARD TURNING (USUALLY RT AND 5-25 MPH), THROUGH A DIP. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, SO NOT FIXED. DEEP, SOLID, METAL SOUND; COULD IT BE TORSION BAR HITTING CROSS-MEMBER ON FRAME? I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK IN FOR STEERING SHAFT (EVENTUALLY REPLACED W/UPDATED COMPLETE SHAFT AFTER 6 VISITS!), IN FOR CLUNKING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP (FLUSHED TRANSFER CASE 2X AND NOW IS FINE), IN FOR NEW BELT AND TENSIONER, IN FOR NEW STEERING PUMP, IN FOR NEW REGULATOR IN PASSENGER WINDOW, IN FOR NEW REAR-END U-JOINT AND CREAKING REAR LEAF SPRINGS/BUSHINGS, IN FOR 4WD SERVICE LIGHT (MODE SWITCH REPLACED), IN FOR STICKY THROTTLE BODY, IN FOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS, IN FOR WIND NOISE ON DRIVER'S SIDE AROUND WINDSHIELD (NEVER FIXED!), IN FOR NOISY A/C (FOAM FROM FACTORY STUCK IN SYSTEM), FUEL GAGE SENSOR REPLACED BEFORE TAKING DELIVERY. TIRED OF THIS TRUCK, BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A DIFFERENT ONE DUE TO DEPRECIATION FACTOR!

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
