Example complaints

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

“Whenever the sun is out, the glare from the dash makes it impossible to see out of the windshield without mistaking the glare for a car/deer/other animal. Since I purchased the car in the middle of the winter where, here in Michigan, we don't get a whole lot of sunshine. Now after driving for a few days in sunshine, this glare is dangerous. This needs to be fixed before people get hurt.”

NHTSA complaint #11647290, filed 2025-03

“The emergency braking system is not engaging appropriately and when activated it stutters to a stop and does not come to an immediate stop. When in emergency situations the braking system detect objects that are not present causing it to come to a stuttering stop and causing a hazard and accident.”

“Driving into sun, very strong glare off the dashboard that is lined (not solid), so visibility is highly reduced. Nearly crashed into a pedestrian in a crosswalk because they were not visible through the windshield.”

NHTSA complaint #11656138, filed 2025-04

“Discovered water underneath passenger footwell carpet, causing a musty and mildewy smell. Many reports of similar discoveries online prompted the initial search. Safety concern is mold growth and rust. Dealer was unable to replicate issue after two attempts (ran through car wash, hose over windshield, ran A/C for extended period, checked AC condensate drainage). Dealer dried up water and carpet and told owner to monitor. Owner pulled up carpet to do own investigation after the second failed attempt by the dealer. Confirmed dry before starting investigation on warm sunny day (no rain). …”
