WORKED ON REAR/END, STILL HAD NOISE, AT SPEEDS 45-50 MPH, EXCEPT WHEN YOU DEACCERLATE, NOISE WOULD QUIT.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
