Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My radio turns on and off-very distracting to my driving and makes a loud popping sound from speakers-which is startling. Along with this my defrost turns on and off which sometimes limits my visibility. This happens while the car is parked and while driving intermittently. It happens about 20 times while driving a short distance of about 10 miles. It also happened while I was driving on the interstate.”
NHTSA complaint #11390998, filed 2021-02, 57,000 miles“On numerous occasions I have been blinded by the sun because of the uselessness of the small sunvisor. This has occurred both with front visibility or trying to shield eyes from the side window. My passengers have also been effected the same way. The visors are not deep or long enough respectively to be of any value. This concern is more severe when express way driving or in heavy traffic, which I have recently encountered and prompted this reporting.”
NHTSA complaint #11205012, filed 2019-05, 43,000 miles“6 months ago my infotainment screen started flashing and the cd would occasionally pop out of the player on its own. The music would turn itself off then come back on, startling me as it would be accompanied by a loud static or popping sound. It started off intermittently, then the screen went completely black and the music stopped working completely except for the constant buzzing/static sound accompanied by clicking as though something is trying to turn on. …”
