Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Just like many other complaints on here, my vehicle starts acting crazy with lights flashing, and feels like it won't shift and go above 40mph. I brought the car to dealer and they replaced the ignition switch, and PCM. This cost me $1200. It stopped for a bit, then started again a month or two later when they told me it needed motor mounts and a new PCM (which they said they changed, but I don't believe it). It is now back there with the same problem and I'm now on the 4th day it's there and I'm getting no answers, just a bunch of sales people calling. …”
