Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Prndl readout stays on the p (for park) position. I have to count the gears when I operate the transmission selector. Cable that links the prndl needle to the transmission selector has broken (happened once before). This may be a developing safety defect trend in this great car.
