Example complaints

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

“The instrument controls go completely dead, so no knowledge of speed, coolant temperature, gas capacity. The passenger air bag deactivates, whether there is a passenger there or not. The rear back up lights go on permanently. Happens at any speed and intermittently flickers back on and off. Can happen when the car is moving, or sitting at a stop. No consistency on when it happens and when it resumes.”
