Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Cruise control acceleration button stuck down in acceleration mode and car continued to accelerate. I had to press the brake to disengage the cruise control. This button sticks or gets stuck in acceleration mode on cruise control and the only way I have found to disengage it is to tap the brakes and disengage the cruise control.”
NHTSA complaint #10614783, filed 2014-07, 56,500 miles“Once again, driving on a busy highway my stabilitrac light came on and my engine was powered down. My vehicle is once again in the shop having the throttle bottle replaced. The first time this happened, the mechanics just cleaned the part, this time it is being replaced. When your vehicle powers down, you lose the ability to safely maneuver your car- potentially causing an accident.”

Now the speedometer may work correctly for a few miles and then it shows that I am driving a speed above what is allowed or what I know is untrue. Took to a mechanic and he says the speedometer motor needs to be replaced. For past 3 years the check tire sensor monitor comes on when making a long distance trip. For past 2 years the passenger airbag light comes on whenever anyone sits on passenger side. …”
