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.

From owner reports, verbatim

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A NEARBY NEIGHBORS HOUSE WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP SAFELY WHILE ON A GENTLE CURVE/DOWN SLOPE. AFTER STOPPING, I LOOK UNDERNEATH AT THE STEERING AND FOUND THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLE? WAS MISSING AND I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BROKEN OFF. A FEW FEET BEHIND THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND BOOT PROTECTOR. MY INSPECTION LOOK LIKE THE STEERING KNUCKLE IS INTACT AND JUST CAME LOOSE, FALLING OFF, CAUSING THE STEERING TO FAIL. I DREAD WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE GOING FASTER DOWNHILL ON A CURVE. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE ALL THE ROADS ARE NARROW WITH CURVES AND A LOT OF UP HILL AND DOWN HILL AREAS. I WILL CLEAN THE KNUCKLE IN THE MORNING AND TRY AND REATTACH IT. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I DO NOT KNOW IF I CAN TRUST THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. *TR

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.
