Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Tires & wheels reportsComplaints 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 SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAD BEEN ENGAGING BY SELF THE PAST MONTH, SOMETIMES IN LOW MODE. VERY LOUD GEAR NOISES, SHUDDERING, VIBRATION & SIGNIFICANT SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED. OCCURRENCE IS DANGEROUS AT ANY POINT, BUT MOST CRITICAL WHEN APPROACHING A TOLL BOOTH. AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER COULD READILY LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LATEST INCIDENT (DATE GIVEN) SO VIOLENT & CAN'T DISENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE SUV IS PARKED UNTIL REPAIRED. INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WILL EXAMINE, & HOPEFULLY REPAIR AT REASONABLE COST, THE VEHICLE WEEK OF 8/1-5/05. *JB
