Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car is own 3 years old and I have already replaced the fuel emission valves, the cooling system, and now the unaffordable transmission control, catylattic converter, and transmission clutch have gone out to where my car wont change speeds while on the highway, nor reverse.”
NHTSA complaint #11139378, filed 2018-10, 88,000 miles“My car does not accelerate on the road when my foot is pressing down on gas pedal but RPM increases resulting in stalling in motion like conditions. It is very scary and frustrating for me and my occupants that ride with me to work.”
NHTSA complaint #11131701, filed 2018-09, 74,000 miles“I was making a right hand turn on a city street at approximately 20 miles per hour when the steering got very heavy, the ABS and traction control lights illuminated, a message on the dash started that hill start assist was deactivated and the speedometer stopped working. When I pulled over, the car would not shut off when I pushed the start/stop button. The car is currently at the dealership undergoing diagnostic testing. I think it may be an ABS sensor that came loose behind a wheel.”
