What irks people most? New data show that consumers complain most about having to deal with cars — whether false sales ads or repairs, according to the Consumer Federation of America and the North American Consumer Protection Investigators.
The groups analyzed more than 250,000 complaints to 40 agencies across 23 states last year, finding that consumers are peeved about their auto experiences but also consider home improvement a nightmare, with issues ranging from roofing rip-offs to new home defects.
