Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I currently have 122,000 miles on my truck and it's all stock, even the tires are the same type as oem. For over 2 years and about 60,000 miles I continually have the same dash warning lights come on; hill decent control & advanced track. The bad part about this is that they don't just come on and remain as active system warnings, they will flash on, alert me, then go off and then come back on. So when I click ok to silence them, they only stay silenced for that occurrence. So when they go off then come back on, it alerts me again and again, and again. …”
