NHTSA complaint #11031496, filed 2017-10, 39,780 miles“When you start on the gas the vehicle hesitates forever before going. I've nearly been hit several times due to this. It also takes forever to get over 60mph. The suspension was bad as well and had to replace.”
NHTSA complaint #11337478, filed 2020-07, 89,125 miles“There's only 47k miles on the vehicle and the strut mounts are beginning to get worn. After consulting two other auto shops after taking the vehicle to the dealer, the auto shops said it was highly unusual for a newer vehicle to need these parts replaced. As of right now the strut mounts aren't making any noise for the driver to feel as if something is wrong. The chervolet dealership pointed out this defect, and the auto shop mechanics had to be told of this issue for them to see it.”
NHTSA complaint #11046155, filed 2017-11, 47,300 miles“I was driving on the turnpike near west palm beach and I lost control of the vehicle completely. The brakes was not working and the steering locked on me preventing me to turn the wheel resulting in the vehicle crashing into the grass to a guard rail. Also the air bags in the from did not deploy. Only the side air bags. I injured my head and had to get stitches because of this.”
