Example complaints

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

“Driving the car normally at night the dashboard lights went to full intensity without driver input, and wouldn't change. A few minutes later the rear windshield wiper started operating and wouldn't stop. Twenty minutes later the car flashed a notification that power steering assist was not functioning, and it became very difficult to steer. The turn signals would not operate. The low fuel warning indicator came on showed zero miles left even though there was at least a quarter tank left. The speedometer readout changed to zero, while we were driving at about 35 MPH. …”
