Example complaints

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

“I have been having problems with the anti-theft system. My car continues to not start until I complete a 10 minute procedure each time. This is very annoying and have left me stranded many times. I believe that this is a recall that needs to be corrected immediately. There have been numerous complaints on this problem and nothing has been done.”
