Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There were three systems that had problems, but one of the systems, the door locking system, seems to have cured itself. The other two problems, that of the A/C and the seat memory systems, began to show up as soon as we started driving the car after purchase. The first time that I registered those problems with the dealership, the car had been driven 2886 miles. We purchased the car on july 24, 2002. I spoke to the service manager at least once before taking the car into the dealership on sept. 11, 2002. Air conditioning: after car sits in hot sun for 2 hrs or more, A/C refuses to come on. …”
