Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Aug 10, 2010
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. IT HAPPEND WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THEY SAID THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 1996-1998 MODELS FOR THE BROKEN CLOCKSPRING BUT NOT THE 2001. I SEE LOTS OF COMMENTS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE BEYOND THOSE MODEL YEARS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL BEYOND 1998 SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN THOSE 2 YEARS!
