Example complaints

One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

2015: “Loss power on the highway in the passing lane so I stopped and checked oil level. The oil was low and found I had a major oil leak from the oil housing. Tons of forums online discussing the problem. Took it to the dealership where they have 14 oil housing kits they are waiting for to fix customers vehicles. This is costly and should be a recall item.”

NHTSA complaint #11398869, filed 2021-03, 106,000 miles

2017: “Rotors are warped per maintenance check which I believe is from the emergency breaking. 43400 miles from leisurely driving and brake pads are still good. When I'm driving downhill and apply breaks, car starts to vibrate. Then at times of high speed of 70-75 the blind spot warning light comes on and the side sensors stay on until I come to a complete stop.”

NHTSA complaint #11383166, filed 2020-12, 42,000 miles

2005: “In the begining my car stall after filling the tank up with gas. It would stall at low idle like for instance when I come to a stop. But it also have done it when I've been on the highway when I release the gas pedal which is very dangerous to me and everyone around me. Especially on a major city highway like atlanta. I;ve been trying to get this resolve since early last year.”
