Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Faulty gauges. Gauges sometimes work, sometimes don't. When not working, service engine light comes on first and then nothing works on dash panel except signal lights. When it does work, normal startup of lights. Being the odometer is digital, no way of knowing how many miles I have gone which goes hand in hand with gas gauge not working so not a clue how much I have.”
NHTSA complaint #10876596, filed 2016-06, 198,000 miles“I was pulling into my driveway and put it in park. I noticed I was to close to my home for the children in the neighborhood to run between my vehicle and the house so I put my vehicle in reverse to back up a little and backed up. I then put it in drive to go forward as it was to far out in the road, so I put it in drive and the gas peddle got stuck and I ran into my home. My question is, has there been a recall on the gas peddle sticking on this vehicle in the past history?”
NHTSA complaint #10650445, filed 2014-10, 137,800 miles“While highway driving with cruise control engaged I heard a loud whining sound and experienced a sudden loss of power. I was almost hit from behind several times before I could get the vehicle over into the right lane. When I took the vehicle to my mechanic I was told the cooling fan clutch assemble had failed. I have had this fan replaced three times now and am not at all pleased that this vehicle has not been recalled for this problem. I have read that this is a common problem on this vehicle that can cause a severe accident. I have receipts for the repairs but have no way to upload them.”
NHTSA complaint #10870570, filed 2016-05, 112,000 miles“I was sitting at a stop sign with my foot on the brake(confirmed by the driver in my rear that my brake lights were on). My car accelerated on its own, rear ending the vehicle in front of mine. Then I attempted to put my vehicle in reverse with my foot still resting on the brake and the truck lunged into reverse on it's own and hit the vehicle behind me as well. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**762650”
