Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Tires

1 report
“TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE TIRE SHOP FOR A TIRE ROTATION. I WAS ADVISED THAT AT LEAST THREE OF MY COOPER DISCOVERER HT PLUS (285/60/18 MANUFACTURE DATE 3/18) HAVE BEEN PARTIALLY BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE CORE WIRE. ALL THREE WHEELS APPEAR TO BE ALMOST WAVY. I HAVE NOT FELT ANY SHAKING BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE TIRE TECHNICIAN THAT THE PROCESS IS AT THE BEGINNING STAGES OF SEPARATION AND THAT IT WILL GET WORSE.”

Engine

1 report
“I OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK ENGINE OIL, AND SAW HOT COOLANT SPRAYED ALL OVER UNDER HOOD. COOLANT LEVEL WAS VERY LOW. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION, THERE'S A CRACK IN THE TOP PLASTIC OF THE RADIATOR FROM WHICH COOLANT WAS SPRAYING OUT BEFORE I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BOTH DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS/SCALDING, BUT ALSO ENGINE DAMAGE AND FIRES WHILE TRAVELING DUE TO LOW COOLANT. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AT 6-8 YEARS OF AGE AND AROUND 100,000 MILES. I CAN'T UPLOAD A PHOTO SINCE I'VE HAD IT CLEANED AND REPAIRED TO MAKE IT DRIVABLE (AT MY EXPENSE).”
