Example complaints

Fuel system: “I'm driving and all of a sudden - while I'm on the highway - a service engine pops up on the dashboard, and my car looses all power and drive ability. I immediately loose any gas/drive ability to accelerate or maintain legal speeds. I read about the recent recall with the fuel system and it's exactly what my car is experiencing, but somehow my VIN is both telling me that my car has a recall at one place, and then doesn't have a recall at another. …”

NHTSA complaint #11759159, filed 2026-08

Engine: “While driving on a highway around 3 am in dark environment, going at 63mph, the vehicle completely shut off in less than 1 second with no warning at all. Brakes failed, steering failed, engine shut off, all gauges including speedometer and tachometer stopped functioning, all electrical related functions failed, headlight and taillight shut off, unable to turn on hazard light. Right after the complete failure, I tried to restart the vehicle on the highway while still in motion but the vehicle was completely unresponsive. …”

NHTSA complaint #11320525, filed 2020-04, 8,000 miles

Electrical system: “I purchased my car in jan. 2020. On june 21, 2020, I awoke to my alarm going off. I tried to use my key fob to turn that alarm off and it did. Not work. The alarm stopped and I had to use the hard key to enter my car. The car would not start and I had to get a jump from aaa. The car was new with less than 3000 miles on it. I took it to the dealer to for a diagnostic and they kept it for 5 days. They had to replace the bcm. The bcm was listed as problem in prior year versions of this vehicle. This appears to be a continuing problem with this vehicle. …”
