Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. …”
NHTSA complaint #11620170, filed 2024-10, 117,329 miles“Due to close gear ratio of 2nd and 3rd in the 8f57 transmission, there is unwanted harsh/bucking shift from 2nd to 3rd everytime, even after the latest TSB 20-2190 update. Also, after 30 to 40 mins of normal driving, the 8f57 transmission starts to exhibit severe hesitation to down shift and up shift especially when going on to a grade/slope.”
