Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2019: “Crashed into my garage wall at slow speeds. I pulled into the garage riding the break pedal (no acceleration/gas) and when I attempted to come to a complete stop the breaks seemed to give out completely. Even as I shoved the break pedal to the floor it seemed to do nothing. When it happened, I did feel a bit of a rumble on the break pedal like when ABS turns on.”
NHTSA complaint #11385955, filed 2020-12, 8,000 miles2022: “Water in both headlights, no external damage. Can see hairline cracks all along the rim of the headlights. The turn signals are intermittently not working due to water. The issue was confirmed by the dealer however they said even though it’s a documented issue, my car was over the 60,000 mile warranty. I was at 63,000. The repair is $6000.”
NHTSA complaint #11768617, filed 2026-102023: “The vehicle experienced a sudden emergency braking intervention on the highway. Alert came on and it said emergency breaking with curved red arrow and the car slowed down from around 70mph-60mph. Lane assist was on but the car was not on cruise control. The problem was resolved after pressing the accelerator. I was not hit but the could have been a dangerous situation if someone was right behind me.”
