“I was sitting in the vehicle parked waiting for the rain to pass. Front window was cracked. When I heard a loud bang. Turned around the back window on the driver side had shattered.

NHTSA complaint #11220614, filed 2019-06, 31,000 miles“While driving down the interstate going 75 MPH my doors keep locking and unlocking as well as the theft alarm going off. The theft alarm is going off every 5 minutes. We have tried unhooking the battery to reset but this did not work.”
NHTSA complaint #11302622, filed 2020-01, 118,000 miles“I have had this happen twice with my vehicle and I notified the dealer of this and nothing was done. Twice now I have been driving on a highway going at a speed no more than 60 began to accelerate and had the RPM shoot up to 8 and the MPH shoot down to almost zero. I do a slight acceleration and the car comes almost to a complete stop like the engine cut out. The first time I didn't really worry about it but it has happened twice now and could cause a very serious accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11207454, filed 2019-05, 18,000 miles“I purchased a new 2017 TRAX on july 15, 2017. Since I got the car I heard a squeak from the rear brakes. I took it back to the dealer and they told me that it is a new car and the squeal will go away. It did not go away. I have taken the car to the dealer 5 times and they keep telling me the rear brakes are ok. I want the dealer to inspect the rear breaks and fix it. Also I want the left- and right-front lower-control arms, inspect and replacing them as necessary to prevent a fatal accident. My car only has 29, 600 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #11362472, filed 2020-10, 15 miles“The first time it happened, I was entering the highway, trying to merge with traffic. As I accelerated, my engine revved, but did not shift gears (as I was merging with traffic who were traveling at speeds of 60 MPH and higher), lurched and dropped down to 20 MPH (somehow didn't get rear-ended). In a 6 month span, this has happened 3x. The 3rd time was on a stretch of road where I was traveling about 45 MPH coming up on a car in the left-hand lane (on a 2 lane street) making a left-hand turn. Needed to switch lanes to go around. …”
