“I got into my car and closed the door. I don't recall if I had put the key into the ignition yet, when I heard a loud boom sound like that of a explosion. I turned around and looked at my rear window there was about a 1 foot whole and the remainder of the window is shattered waiting to cave in. I got out and looked, the force blew the molding off on the left side of the window and it and multiple pieces of shattered glass were on the ground. My neighbors and I just stood there and looked because we had never seen anything like that before. …”
NHTSA complaint #10717255, filed 2015-05, 42,000 miles“I was driving, going around 60 MPH on the highway 684 towards white plains, ny. Heard a very loud sound, raised my eyes slightly upward to the right to discover my sunroof shattered. Some of it fell into the car leaving a hole . The glass remaining, looked as though there was a pressure build up inside of the car because it is raised towards the roof of the car. I now worried that once I get the roof repaired, this may happen again. Luckily, the glass that fell into the car did not come down on my head, which could have caused me to lose control of the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10779919, filed 2015-10, 50,490 miles“The vehicle is lightweight to the point where high winds push the car to the side while it is in motion. You can feel the wind moving it and feel the car move a lot when other vehicles are driving at high speeds next to it.”
NHTSA complaint #11221600, filed 2019-06, 85,000 miles“Parking light comes on and radio turns off except for the clock, then turns back on. Check engine light came one, went off when high beams turned on. Using the turning signal disables the cruise control. Today on the way to work, the battery light comes on after the check engine light goes off. Checking the volts on the dash and it shows they are low. Car has been traveling for 25 minutes, so alternator should have charged battery. Get to work and the volts are back up to 13.8 but battery light still on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11033007, filed 2017-10, 56,000 miles“Problems started with radio going off. Then lights dimming when using the window switch. Then while using the turning signal, the cruse would shut off. Then driving at night the lights started flickering then seemed to turn off. The car seemed to loose power. The break light would come on then go off. The seat belt light and check engine. The warning bell that sounds while the key is in ignition would go off and messages would flash across the radio and the information on the dash would scroll with out you scrolling them. …”
