Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Auto/stop is having issues. When in gauged it stalls the car out and will not allow it to turn back over. I have been in traffic at a stop light several times when this has happened and almost got into an accident because of it. Also I am having an issue with my rpms jumping and the car losing power. I have replaced both the intake and the exhaust solenoid and still lose power.”
NHTSA complaint #11351565, filed 2020-08, 110,000 miles“My check engine light came on, I took it to the shop and replaced a solenoid, problem is still there. Now my car dies on me and when I push on the gas it hesitates. My car has under 75000 miles on it. I've already replaced both wheel bearings. My A/C doesn't want to come on at times. My radio will come on with no key in the ignition,”
NHTSA complaint #11221029, filed 2019-06, 70,000 miles“As soon as car is turned on, A/C will not blow when I turn the knob and no matter what buttons I push. Not sure why it decides to do this sometimes but not every time. I have seen this as an official recall, but it says my VIN shouldn't be effected. This is a recurring issue that happens at random.”
NHTSA complaint #11326872, filed 2020-06, 12,345 miles“Car turns off the engine light is on and found out the rocker arm solenoid valve is not working I'm afraid to drive the car I don't know what to do I have not had the car not even one year. I'm afraid to drive the car for it to turn off in the highway luckily it was on the street when the car just turned off”
NHTSA complaint #11288469, filed 2019-12, 35 miles“Stabilitrak stability control system, anti lock brakes and wheel bearing. 2nd time I have had these lights come on, driving and tracking control kicked in and then the lights all appear. I paid to have it fixed, and they spliced into the wire, not covered under warranty according to care. Yet it is part of wiring harness.”
