“If I brake within 5 minutes of starting my vehicle, the next time I brake all of the dashboard lights will flash on, the battery light will stay on, and the car will stall. After waiting 5 to 10 minutes the car will start again. This happens within a week of when my car needs an oil change. This happened 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, and 5/17/2018.”
NHTSA complaint #11097925, filed 2018-05, 50,000 miles“The car will startle when shifting gears until one day it just stopped responding whenever I stepped on the accelerator. It will only drive no more than 5 miles an hour, making horrible noises and smelling burnt. I had to stop and pull to the side as I was driving.iit was so scary because I had my daughter with me and was in a high traffic street.”
NHTSA complaint #11044414, filed 2017-11, 44,000 miles“Loud humming from the front wheel while making a long turn on the highway to the right. Brought it into the dealer of purchase, they found out it was the rear wheel bearing, a day later I'm still experiencing the same issues with improved sound reduction from the rear, so the rear was fixed now I'm having the front wheel bearing replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10968276, filed 2017-03, 34,690 miles“Engine stalls out and completely dies . This has happened to me several times already with my six year old in the car. I haven't taken it to the dealership twice already and this will be the third final attempt for repair. I've brought a new battery even after it passed successful testing, and the alternator passed as well. …”
