“I purchased my vehicle used 2 weeks ago. Initially the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up with fuel. As soon as I pulled out of the gas station my vehicle started stalling as if I was losing power to my vehicle. After a few miles the stalling stopped. In the past few weeks the stalling has become worse every time I pump fuel. It shuts off if I'm idle at a light, it shuts off when I'm attempting to park, turn left, or in a drive thru. …”

NHTSA complaint #10839602, filed 2016-03, 100,000 miles“Takata air bag was replaced but dealer was unable or unwilling to tell which air bag was used as the replacement device. Since the replacement, the GPS system does not work, when I turn on the radio I get a bing bing bing sound. Dealer says it is my job to replace radio and GPS system for almost $2,000 - labor not included. New radio and GPS not available for this car at this time. Local vendor suggested the air bag was not installed properly or the wrong make/model was used to get the job done and get rid of me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10871480, filed 2016-05, 60,000 miles“This is the second time I've had to pay to replace the ABS hub (complete axle) due to rust/rotting. When the ABS ring rust or rots, the ABS module becomes confused and activates intermittently. I was driving the vehicle and the brakes locked intermittently causing a very dangerous situation. I stopped thinking that it would reset something but it happened again. I had to take it to a repair shop once again and now I've had to pay over $1,000 for the rear axles and now $1,000 for the front. Axles have to be replaced each time. These rings should not simply rot and cause a dangerous situation!”
NHTSA complaint #11279434, filed 2019-11, 102,000 miles“After filling up with gas at the same place I always do I began to drive home at the first light I was fine at the 2nd light the car stalled I put it n and started the car up and drove home about 1 block. In the morning I started the car up to go to work it ran fine for the first 2 blocks the stalled again. I started it up again and drove to work. I was terrified. After getting it home I thought I would drive it around the neighborhood for a few days to be safe and not go on the freeway. It still hesitated and felt like it wasn't running right. Still wanting to stall. …”
