“The door is not latching shut it pops open when it feels like it . Driving down the street in the door popped open and it wouldn't shut also seems like the transmission won't stay in park at times it jumps when I'm driving it takes a while for it to go into gear I had it in park one day and the car was still moving”
NHTSA complaint #11339470, filed 2020-07, 130,101 miles“Electronic throttle body malfunction, car was parked in a parking lot and after returning to my car I started it and put it into drive, as soon as I let of the brake and touched the gas peddle the car maxed out in RPM and the car accelerated on its own even after pushing on the brake resulting crashing into a light pole.”
NHTSA complaint #11006807, filed 2017-07, 64,000 miles“We were driving 70mph cruise control on a highway, let off cruise control to decrease speed on the upcoming bypass and the engine immediately powered down and we coasted to a stop on the side of the highway bypass. The engine light and orange wrench appeared. The car would not start thereafter. We had to call family to get out 5 and 7 year old and a tow truck to take the car to a shop.”
NHTSA complaint #10945440, filed 2017-01, 52,000 miles“While operating my vehicle from a stop to a rolling position, the transmission is not propelling the car forward like it should. I compare it to a manual transmission scenario where the clutch isn't released all the way, so the rpms rev-up, but the car moves forward a very slow pace. This has been going on for about 2 months now. Nothing seems to resolve the issue. This occurs everyday, regardless of engine temperature or weather.”
NHTSA complaint #11244596, filed 2019-08, 110,000 miles“I purchased this vehicle new delivered to the dealership from another location with just under 200 miles on the odometer. I noticed my first issue when the motor would stall going at a low rate of speed 15-20mph through a parking lot at about 22,000 miles on the odometer and also would hesitate to start. I only assumed it was bad fuel being such a new vehicle. This happened periodicaly up untile the engine gave an over temprature coolant display killing all but idle power to the ingine making the car undrivable. …”
