Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving down the road the vehicle will exhibit a full loss of power. After pulling to the side of the road and turning the vehicle off and trying to restart it will experience a long and hard start. The vehicle will do this weather you are driving 5mph or 70 MPH. This is very dangerous and has almost caused me to be in several accidents with my 3 children in the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11102125, filed 2018-06, 70,000 miles“Fuel odor in cabin. Every time I put gasoline on it, when trying to turn on, it fails and I have to try several times. While parked it turn off by it self and a red notification saying something like oil pressure appears. I went to dealer and they say is ok. I entered the VIN in your site and there are 2 recalls. Dealer never contact me about that.”
NHTSA complaint #10915157, filed 2016-10, 53,900 miles“Driving down a city street. Stopped at a light and when it was green we got up to about 45 MPH, the car started sputtering would not accelerate. It went into limp mode and we had to pull over into the turn lane. We could not drive the vehicle and had to be towed to a dealer. Dealer advised faulty throttle body which I understand is a known issue.”
