“I got in, I started my car at 5:30am, all ways normal. I put it in reverse got out of my driveway, then put it in drive and the car started shaking. I pressed the gas a little and I seamed like the car wanted to turn off and the gear gauge was going up and down and still shaking. I stopped put it in park, turned off the car, waited for a few minutes, then turned the car back on, the car was still shaking, then the check engine light came on. I had to drive to work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10605577, filed 2014-06, 35,700 miles“Driving on the highway, the car suddenly lost complete power. The service stabilitrak warning came on. Was able to use momentum of car to get to the emergency shoulder and come to a complete stop. Tried repeatedly to restart car unsuccessfully. Had car towed to dealer to fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11013403, filed 2017-08, 60,000 miles“Air bag sensor is always coming on and dings every few minutes....whether or not there is someone in the passenger seat or not, whether its in drive or in park, when it goes off, I turn the switch to disregard the notification and it comes on every few minutes....also, the evaporator core kit needs replaced, which is about $2000 and 20 hours of labor due to having to remove windsheild. Heater and defrost work fine but AC will not cool, smells funny inside the car and makes noise when you try to turn on A/C. Thankfully its fall.. …”
NHTSA complaint #10786949, filed 2015-10, 75,000 miles“Service air bag suddenly came on and will not go off. The car alarms every few seconds and flashes the warning service air bag. It will not go off and prevent me from seeing how fast I am going etc etc. I still have a warrantee on car but I am sure it does not include air bag. It is scary to drive because I don't know if air bag will engage and cause me to wreck. I am terrified. Also the traction ended up frying my computer and after 2000 dollars later my car sounds like starter or battery is drained. Which is exactly what happened before it fried the computer the first time.very frustrating.”
