Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While on the highway, my truck went hard right while my steering wheel was in straight position. I asked my passenger did you feel that . They said yes .it was very scary and happens very sporadic.also the brakes seem to be some timey with stopping efficiently, like you either stop too quick or not fast enough. I'm not sure why my VIN has not appeared in this recall when clearly my vehicle has the same issues and within the make model and year.”
NHTSA complaint #11222919, filed 2019-06, 2,500 miles“Went to dealership for oil change. Told to pull car up into bay. When turning car back on the dashboard lite up claiming issue with power effecting steering and brakes. They performed a diagnostic test and found no issue. Told me if it happens again let them know and I should pull over to the side of the road, with my flashers on, and turn the car off which would trip it. I only leased this car in march 2019 with 79 miles. There has already been one recall on this make and model.”
NHTSA complaint #11269853, filed 2019-10, 1,000 miles“In the 2nd maintenance of the vehicle at the authorized dealer they informed me of a recall on the front train, after this the vehicle has presented different incidents, from different sounds to higher fuel consumption, it does not respond in the same way when accelerating, the guide vibrates and it doesn't stop the same.this happens on any type of pavement. Currently the vehicle has 8,500 kilometers and the situation has not been resolved and is the third visit to the workshop after what happened. Help me please I don't feel safe in the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11311922, filed 2020-02, 6,300 miles“I was traveling in my car on the freeway. Traffic came to a deceleration very quickly and suddenly. I was able to slow down in time to avoid the car in front of me, however I was struck from behind. The driver behind me must have swerved also to try to avoid hitting me directly from behind. She hit my rear driver side. This action caused my control arm, strut tower, rotor, wheel and all other associated parts to detach from the vehicle. This also consequentially caused the brake hose to be ripped from the assembly resulting in poor brake pressure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317802, filed 2020-03, 10,000 miles“Car was bought brand new and had a manufacturing defect of the automatic transmission fluid coolant lines leaking, to the point that the car would not go forward or backwards, this problem was fixed under warranty, and also the car will surge forward at operating temperature, making it hard to stop at red lights, and in panic stops, like my son had recently causing a minor parking lot accident, while the car was moving at a very low speed.”
