Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my 2015 chev TRAX and all of a sudden the vehicle started idling very rough and I was not able to accelerate. When I would push on the accelerator it would go down but the car would not speed up. I took the vehicle home and the next day I took it to an auto repair place where the mechanic said that there were multiple miscodes firing and that the check engine light was flashing.”
NHTSA complaint #11254338, filed 2019-09, 26,000 miles“The information cluster (which displays my speed, mileage, gas gauge, etc.) went completely black for ~10-15 miles as was driving home one day from work on a city road. I turned the car off as I stopped for gas but the display was still black when I turned the car back on. It finally came back on spontaneously when I was half way home on a county road. I have had issues where the display will go black temporarily (1-2 seconds) as I am driving but it quickly turns back on, resetting my display. …”
NHTSA complaint #10883792, filed 2016-07, 15,100 miles“I have had to take my vehicle in several times for repair I am the first owner of this vehicle and it only has 87,000 miles on it. At 87,000 miles I have had to have the valve cover replaced for leaking. I have also had to have an oil pan leak replaced. An oil pan pin gasket replaced. And now my seat belt indicator light is not making noise when the seatbelt is not buckled in. I have tried to drive without a seatbelt on city streets and highways to see if the light would make noise and it does not the light is on on the dashboard but no noise is made to indicate that the seat belt is not on.”
NHTSA complaint #11354304, filed 2020-09, 87,000 miles“Even after removing the key from the ignition, the car will chime like the key is still in it. After the allotted 10 mins, the radio will not automatically turn off which in turn is killing the battery. The key fobs will no longer work due to the car thinking the key is still in the ignition.”
NHTSA complaint #11102588, filed 2018-06, 39,000 miles“The vehicle will stall while driving and not turn back on unless the vehicle is in park and the key is taken out and put back in. This is a severe safety hazard as it has almost caused me to crash multiple times and the dealership says they cannot find anything wrong with it.”
