Example complaints

“The truck glitches turns off in the middle of driving on the freeway or turning somewhere it will turn off the steering wheel gets hard and everything turns off for 3 seconds and goes back on. I have taken it in and reported this more than once and if I get in a car accident because of this I am sueing this company!”
NHTSA complaint #11338249, filed 2020-07, 5 miles“The back middle passenger seat belt plastic does stay in the upper shoulder area causing the seat belt to go to the side and unable to adjust. Other AC has a leak I should not have to pay out of pocket for a truck of the age of 2 years I see other got repair but mine is not on a list of repairs I can not afford this expensive.”
NHTSA complaint #11217224, filed 2019-06, 49,000 miles“While I was driving on the highway, approximately 55mph; the check engine light came on; smelled like plastic burning at the same time; I was able to stop on exit ramp as thick black smoke filled the inside. Good samaritans helped me get out as flames were ignited under the hood. Several like mini explosions accompanied the flames.”
NHTSA complaint #11114421, filed 2018-07, 15,500 miles“The vehicle throws the check engine light randomly (avg once every 2 months). It occurs around 65 MPH (interstate) which, leads me to believe it is a misfire on one of the cylinders. I have had it to the dealership and a diagnostic complete. Spark plugs were changed and they said it fixed the issue; yet it has not fixed the issue. I notice no power loss when it comes on (blinks). This light blinks roughly 30-45 seconds and goes off.”
NHTSA complaint #11396563, filed 2021-02, 48,235 miles“Drove my truck and turned the air conditioning on and it blows out warm air. Did not have any issues with the AC until today (4-18-2020). I looked online and it seems there are multiple complaints about the condenser malfunctioning.”
