Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Immediately upon starting my car ... My fuel gauge would flash on and off like as if it was low. I noticed that the weather was damp and a fog in the air. The fuel gauge was flashing with a half tank of gas in my vehicle. Upon driving off slowly, my rear hatch unlatched and my dashboard lights turned off. This occurred 4-5 times ... Before I was able to get my trunk to latch. Although I was able to drive down the highway eventually without my rear hatch unlatching, my dashboard lights were completely off.”
