Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The exterior paint on the hood, trunk, and roof shows signs of excessive chipping. The problem is once a single chip occurs then the paint peels all the way around it. The peeling of the paint is out of control. It is ridiculous as this car has been garage kept for 6 out of 7 years.”
NHTSA complaint #10008253, filed 2003-02, 55,000 miles“Electrical: taking the key out of ignition the vehicle will not turn completely off ignition/ door will not unlock automatically when shutting the vehicle off/interior light will not shut off at times/ battery drains itself continually. In addition, having problems with accelerator pedal sticking. Also, vehicle pulls to the right. Has taken in for repairs many times, but continues to have the same problems.”
