Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While beginning to accelerate after starting the vehicle, I noticeable sound that is best described as 'water rushing' is heard from behind the passenger-side dash area. After conducting some research I have narrowed it down to the issue of air trapped in the coolant system. Issue is isolated to the area of the heater core. Have also seen mentions of service bulletins where, if the vehicle is under warranty, it can be brought in and the tank can be drained and refilled properly.”

“Radio will suddenly stop responding to the controls in the vehicle. Volume will not adjust up or down. Power button will not work. While talking on the phone, the phone will disconnect from the speakers while in use and plugged in. This will require me to retrieve my phone while I'm driving and put it on speaker to continue my conversations.”

“Nov 2021 I took my truck to the dealership with complaints of a high pitch hum coming from the reared- drivetrain. They found metal shavings in the rear end fluid and said they had to rebuild the rear end 11/3/21. Last Thursday I took it back for the same reason. They found alot of metal shavings again 1/19/23.”

“It's occurred twice and I recorded it the second time. The infotainment display goes to a green multicolored pixelated screen and doesn't allow me to see what is behind me. If I can't see like I'm supposed to with the reverse camera technology, would this not be a safety concern if a child, or handicapped person -blind, deaf, or both- got behind me somehow?”

NHTSA complaint #11427925, filed 2021-08

“1)The exhaust system has leaked into the vehicles interior on at least two occasions May 7 2021 and July 24 2021. Arrangements can be made for vehicle inspection. We will be happy to help by any means we can. 2) There were both large amounts of exhaust fumes to the extent that I had to turn off the truck and exit the vehicle iimmediately. I might have died. Fortunately I was already parked so I did not need exit the roadway. …”
