Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have been experiencing a traction control problem. When I make sharp turns the service traction system light comes on, after this light comes on it pulls to the right and makes it hard to stop and even slides sometimes. I have replaced all speed sensors and replaced the wires and the problem is still reoccuring.”
NHTSA complaint #10873143, filed 2016-06, 138,000 miles“Did you know the recall on the ignition key fix had only a one year warranty? They filled the slot with two plastic halves that snapped together and kept the key ring centered so it would not turn off the ignition if you hit a bump. My key came apart and I can not get it to snap back together. The dealer says the warranty is expired and suggested I glue them on the key. Has this happened to any one else?”
NHTSA complaint #10986201, filed 2017-05, 142,000 miles“Takata recall my car has been jerking every time it would switches gears. I didn't really think it was an issue until I researched and I seen all of people had the same problems. They all said the same thing it was the transmission well every time I drive I would be at a stop sign or at a red light. And when I get my go ahead my could would not move unless I put the pedal to the floor, even then my car will jerk back and peel out. Im afraid to drive my car, I think one day it might stop moving.”
NHTSA complaint #11241655, filed 2019-08, 160,000 miles“Ignition switch failure. Was going down the highway and my car shut off. Checked the starter and the battery and the engine, all are in working order. The switch has had problems since I bought it. It sticks bad is hard to turn.”
NHTSA complaint #10725871, filed 2015-06, 216,000 miles“My service traction system and ABS light stays on constantly when I am driving. I don't know what kind of problem this is could you possibly tell me some information and if there's a recall.”
