Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Gearbox malfunction warning and the TPMS malfunction came on at same time. Continued to drive in limp mode for about 1 mile and the car shut completely off. Start the car back up and still showing warnings. Get it home and attempt to put into reverse and the car won't engage. I just happened to start the car again and all lights were gone. Car went into all gears, drove fine, and got it to the dealer. Two hours later I get in to go to the store and as soon as I shift into d, the TPMS and gearbox malfunction light flash up telling me I have no reverse and I'm still good to drive. …”
