Example complaints
Other or unknown: “Over the past three days, my digital gauge cluster and digital entertainment center have locked up while driving. This means I have no idea how fast I’m going no idea if my turn signals are working and no idea what percentage of charge I have left. The screen stays frozen, even after the card was turned off. I have to wait hours before the car decides to finally reset itself. I have a video I can upload if requested.”
NHTSA complaint #11669300, filed 2025-06Electrical system: “3 weeks ago all the warning lights went off. The vehicle is still under warranty. I brought it to the dealership. They denied the warranty because of mud that was caked on the undercarriage damaging the wiring and steering assembly. This truck was used on a dirt driveway that gets wet and muddy during the spring. That is what a truck is for. I believe there is a manufacturing defect that caused this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11756905, filed 2026-08Forward collision avoidance: “I feel asleep at the wheel somehow ended up hitting the car in front of me i know adaptive cruisae was on. After i hit the car i woke up and then ended up in a ditchg no airbags deployed or anything. I don't remember what happenedf up until i woke up. which was after i hit the car in front of me.”
NHTSA complaint #11745466, filed 2026-06Vehicle speed control: “Observation: While operating the vehicle in Reverse (R) with the One-Pedal Driving (OPD) mode enabled, the expected aggressive regenerative braking deceleration is disabled or significantly reduced compared to when driving forward in Drive (D). Safety Concern: This creates an unexpected driving experience where the car continues to coast/accelerate without input when the accelerator is released, requiring the driver to use the traditional friction brake pedal to stop the vehicle. …”
