Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Any time I step on the gas to accelerate from the current speed to by pass a car (by changing lanes), the transmission down shift to third gear and does not Up-shift causing the car to reach the top speed of the 3rd gear which is slower then the speed before the shifting occured. This episode causes the car behind me to have a knee jerk reaction and could result in rear ending me or trying to avoid an impact with me by abruptly changing lanes and possibly hitting incoming cars............. …”
NHTSA complaint #11677255, filed 2025-07“When turning on the car, the right side of the dashboard (digital panel) will not turn on, it will not display rpm, gas or speed. The turn signals are not making the click noise. The issue happens randomly and I haven’t been able to replicate it in the presence of the dealer. Once the dashboard is back on the service engine light will come on and a service code is noted on the diagnostic system. This has been ongoing since the car was brand new, the first instance at 1,200 miles”
