Example complaints

“I’ve been having issues with the front end since I purchased the vehicle. The dealership had not diagnosed this issue yet in 3 years. It had caused my vehicle to be in the shop continuously, my front driver side tire is worn out. I had to replace all brakes and rotors after 2 years, numerous sensor issues, radiator loses fluid as well as software issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11630662, filed 2024-12“On July 27, 2024, the parking brake on this car would not disengage, thus, I was unable to drive my car. We had to turn off the car for 15 minutes and then step on the gas and brake at the same time at which point the park brake disengaged. I believe this is a safety/manufacturer issue that needs to be addressed and should be under a broader warranty protection (like 100,000 miles or more).”
