Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“The screen that tells you all information on vehicle like; speed, miles on vehicle, tire pressure, oil, etc. is 100% broken. It’s a black screen. Car has been an issue since I got it with this. How am I supposed to know if my oil is getting low without opening the hood and checking manually? I’m not a very tall person so I can not access this part of my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11683389, filed 2025-08“My car does not having a working DIC screen. No odometer, tire pressure, oil life left, no digital speedometer only manual. Dealerships state that there is no issue they can find. But I can not even tell which tire would need air, if I have oil life left. And how am I supposed to know my mileage on my car when it comes to fixing it?”
NHTSA complaint #11603478, filed 2024-07“The instrument cluster failed at approximately 21,100 miles in September of 2022. Every indicator lights up but doesn't function. The radio and reverse camera work sometimes but not for long. The part is on back order. The dealer has no idea when it will arrive. When I drive, I don't know my speed and I don't know if my safety systems are working.”
