Example complaints

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

“While driving about 30mph in my neighborhood, all of a sudden, my van's horn started honking, the wind shield blades began wiping very quickly and water was spraying over the windshield. Also, the automatic locks were going up and down and the car lights and blinkers were flashing on and off uncontrollably. It was very scary! I stopped the car and shut off the engine, but everything continued. Luckily I was not far from home and was able to carefully drive it there. Once in the driveway, the only way to get the car to quit was to disconnect the battery. Waiting on repair report.”

NHTSA complaint #10546463, filed 2013-10, 54,800 miles

“The power doors, both sides and the rear hatch, open at random, either when vehicle is parked and turned off or while driving the vehicle. I have found my vehicle on the street with a door open, once during a snow storm and the inside was inundated with snow. I'm afraid I might find a homeless person sleeping there or a nest of skunks perhaps, or maybe stripped clean by a thief. The key fob has been eliminated as a suspect of inadvertently operating the doors. Once I closed a side door with the button on the inside of the car and after a few moments, it reopened. …”
