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.

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.

HI, I BOUGHT 4 CAR STRUTS FOR MY CAR FROM EBAY. THE SELLER SENT ME THE DUPLICATE PARTS (CHINA STUFF). IT ONLY WORKS FINE FOR 3 DAYS AND AFTER THAT MY CAR STARTED MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. I WENT TO MECHANIC AND HE SAID YOUR STRUTS ARE REALLY BAD. I CONTACTED THE SELLER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PAID SHIPPING LABEL. I WENT TO MECHANIC TO ASK HIM HOW MUCH WILL HE CHARGE ME TO UNINSTALL THE STRUTS HE SAID $200.00. AND IF I AM GONNA SHIP VIA USPS THEN IT WILL COST ME AROUND $150.00 AS WELL. SO ALL TOGETHER IT WOULD BE AROUND $350.00. I BOUGHT ALL 4 STRUTS FOR AROUND $278.95. I TOLD EVERYTHING TO SELLER BUT HE IS STILL REFUSING TO SEND ME THE PAID SHIPPING LABEL. I TOLD HIM I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU THAT YOU ARE SELLING BAD QUALITY PARTS. HE SAID HE DON'T CARE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO GET ME MY REFUND BACK. MY CAR IS MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE AND ITS ALL BECAUSE OF 4 STRUTS I BOUGHT FROM EBAY. PLEASE HELP ME YOU ARE MY FINAL HOPE.

PLEASE HELP ME IN GETTING MY MONEY BACK. I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IT.. I WENT TO MECHANIC TO INSTALLED THEM AROUND MID OF JANUARY. IF I WILL RETURN THE STRUTS MYSELF THEN IT WILL COST ME AROUND $350.00. I BOUGHT THESE STRUTS FOR $278.95 I WILL BE IN LOSS. I ONLY WANT THE PAID SHIPPING LABEL SO I CAN SEND IT BACK OR I WANT MY FULL REFUND. I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THE PARTS I BOUGHT HAS 10 YEARS WARRANTY..

THE BACK LATCH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS DEGRADED ("MELTED" ALMOST). IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS PROPERLY, AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE BACK HATCH DOOR EASILY. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES CONSIDERABLE EFFORT AND PERSEVERANCE TO GET IT OPEN. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
