“I was driving down a 45mph road and the vehicle felt like it was hesitating to accelerate. The RPM's went up to 6000 and the service stabiltrak mesage came up. The engine felt shaky and I didn't have any heat. I took the car immediately to my mechanic and they said the coil pack and plugs were bad and repaired them.”
NHTSA complaint #11309698, filed 2020-02, 120,000 miles“We have put over 3,000 dollars in this car and only had it a year and half. Every time we fix a problem someone else immediately goes wrong. We are currently on the 3rd turbo, replaced coilpack for a misfire, replaced plugs, pvc valve and cover, different hoes to the engine, sensors. It has 110,000 miles on it. Its my daily drive to work and its been broke down half the time ive owned it.”
NHTSA complaint #11271514, filed 2019-10, 105,000 miles“The steering wheel sticks when I am driving. It's extremely noticeable when driving on the highway or making turns. The electrical system comes on and off when the vehicle is operational. All of a sudden my radio will go on and off and the air conditioner and the heater will stop working. I have 5 children and 3 still at home and I'm afraid to drive my car but unfortunately it's all we have.”
NHTSA complaint #11174326, filed 2019-02, 108,038 miles“While driving my radio starts to flash on/off, stabilitrak, check engine light flashes on the dashboard. While making a left turn the steering wheel became stiff. If I didn't have control of my car I would've hit the curb and/or another car. All while my kids were in the vehicle. I have read other complaints dealing with the same issue, why hasn't this been issued as a safety recall yet????”
NHTSA complaint #11141145, filed 2018-10, 69,000 miles“While attempting to start my vehicle it will not turn over. Then the check engine light flashes on and off. The display then reads service theft deterrent system. Service tire monitoring and will then completely lock up. This has happened to me roughly 4 times in the last few months. The only way to get the car to start is with a jump. The battery, starter and alternator are all good and are not causing the issue.”
