Sample Complaint Reports

"LOSS OF POWER STEERING & POOR PAINT QUALITY"

"THERE IS AN THICK AND STIFF ELECTRICAL CABLE THAT LOOPS VERY LOW IN FRONT OF THE TOP OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE TOP OF MY FOOT EASILY CATCHES ON THIS CABLE WITH MY HEEL FULLY ON FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PREVENTED ME FROM FULLY COMPRESSING THE CLUTCH CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL IN CROSS TRAFFIC."
