Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When the vehicle comes to a complete stop... And the start stop is being activated it completely shuts the vehicle off and it is hard to restart the vehicle... Most of the time I have to get somebody to jump start my vehicle in order to get it back in motion... I feel that it is a safety issue if I am at the traffic light and there is ongoing traffic or if I have to slam on brakes or if there is a emergency”
NHTSA complaint #11394739, filed 2021-02, 150,000 miles“A lady ran a red light and t-boned my chevy Malibu on the drivers side as I was proceeding through the intersection. Airbags did not deploy. My head slammed in to the drivers side window. Drivers side door was smashed in. The car had to be towed because it couldn't be driven. I have a concussion that's lasted for 2 weeks and body pain from the accident. Shouldn't the airbags have deployed?”
NHTSA complaint #10894412, filed 2016-08, 14,500 miles“July 16,2016 my 2014 Chevrolet Malibu was parked in a parking space space and began to roll backwards. The car was occupied with a front side passenger and 2 rear passengers. I was able to jump in the car and press the brake to stop the car from going further.
