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.

FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNTING (REAR MOUNTING POINT) SEPARATED FROM THE CAR. I GOT THE CAR AT 88K AND HAD ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS SINCE 2/15/2010. I CHANGED ALL BUSHINGS AND SHOCKS AT THE TIME BUT STILL HAD FRONT WEAR PROBLEMS. FINALLY IN MARCH 2012 THE FRONT LEFT TIRE STARTED TO RUN WHEN TURNING OR BRAKING. THAT IS WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE LOWER CONTROL MOUNTING POINT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME. LEFT SIDE BADLY AND RIGHT SIDE IS STARTING. *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.
