Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving from cold start vehicle dies every morning at least one time loose power steering and brakes makes it hard to come to a stop or turn this I see is a problem with others someone needs to get this checked out. No check eng light or any warning I'm able to pop it into neutral and restart but am afraid to let wife drive due to her lack of experience..”
NHTSA complaint #10661251, filed 2014-11, 97,000 miles“The car shuts off while driving. I turn the ignition off and it cranks back up. It does this almost every other day. No codes come on the warning lights do not come on the car just shuts off. I know this is an older car and I just bought it but this is a hazard can cause an accident and potentially kill someone. After looking online this seems to be a common problem with these cars even the new models and I can't understand stand why there hasn't been a recall to fix this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11197281, filed 2019-04, 120,000 miles“As I was coming out of a parking lot at a minimum speed about to make a right turn the car suddenly cut off. The steering wheel locked and I was unable to make turn, then as suddenly as it shut off it came back on in mid turn. This has occurred to me several times approx a year after buying this veh in 2010 and on several different occasions, at various speeds but always as I would commit to making a right turn would the steering wheel lock up on me and the car shut down.”
NHTSA complaint #10637721, filed 2014-09, 70,000 miles“I was slowing down to yield at a rotary and my car suddenly shut down causing the brakes and steering to not work almost causing a major accident. The same thing occurred several minutes later.”
NHTSA complaint #10640812, filed 2014-10, 79,625 miles“I was driving approximately 30 MPH when my power steering stopped working and I noticed my engine had also stopped. I struggled to steer to the side of the road. I turned the key off (the engine was already off). I waited a minute and started the vehicle without a problem. I drove directly to my mechanic where he could not find a problem. This has happened 2 more times (for a total of 3 times). All when I was driving between 30 - 40 MPH. The first indication of a problem is when I loose power steering and notice the engine has cut-out.”
