Example complaints

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

“Weather alerts keep popping up on my radio screen, requiring me to read them and tap on the ok button to make them go away. They are accompanied with noise/sound to get my attention. There is no option to disable these alerts and it happens multiple times while driving to work in the morning, on my lunch break, or on my ride home. They will appear while the vehicle is in motion, which in my opinion is a safety hazard. There is no way to get them to go away unless I take my eyes of the road and read and tap on the message. …”

“Bought my car on may 7, 2018 brand new. It has 3206 miles, I really dont use it because it is used for pleasure/show but when I do the battery is discharged. I have had to call a total of 4 times-june, july, september,, october 2018 the battery discharged without any valid reason. In 2019 april, may the battery died again. The dealer took two weeks and finally changed the battery and reset the ibs. Hopefully this works but I needed to report it to someone. The dealer said that one reason why the battery discharges is because I dont drive it often.”

“My radio screen constantly keeps rebooting or going on and off. Every time I hit a bump in the street or on the highway it goes off, then I hit another small bump and it comes back on. Sometimes I don't have to do a anything, just be sitting parked, and it goes out, which in turn, I can not use my backup screen cause it's not there! That makes it dangerous cause I can not see cars or pedestrians behind me. As you know, my radio screen is key to other features that I can not use because of the constant rebooting or going off and on.”
