Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After placing my car in park, and trying to cut off the engine, it alerts me to shift to park ... I will have to restart my engine, put it in neutral and then back to park, and try again to shut off the car. Sometimes it works on the second attempt, but usually takes 3-4 times of cutting engine off and on, shifting from park to drive to park again. If you attempt to exit the vehicle, the horn will start to honk, and alarm goes off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11405837, filed 2021-03, 32,500 miles“I have experienced issues with the shifter of the vehicle twice now and it has resulted in replacing the shifter at least once. 6 months later and after an initial replacement the shifter has gone out again. The shifter refuses to move out of the park function. Prior to the shifter going out the car would say shift to park even though the car was already placed in park. I believe the issue to be an electrical problem. The middle seat belt in the second row of the vehicle has also stopped working.”
NHTSA complaint #11326167, filed 2020-05, 26,000 miles“First time back in june 10th, 2020, I took it in because of remote not detected they could not duplicate the problem, few hours later, same day after I picked the car up it went haywire while parked. It threw itself into theft mode, would not let us manually lock the car, electrical was still on but engine was shut off, alarm, windshield wipers, and lights was going off while I had it towed to the dealership. This time they've told me, the A/C condensation fried the cpu module because the only thing keeping water out of the cpu was a tray. …”
NHTSA complaint #11374063, filed 2020-11, 10,767 miles“After jump starting car because of dead battery decided to drive to dealer 1-2 miles awa.y. My wife followed me in car. While driving during the 1-2 mile trip the stearing would lock up (quit working) and the breaks as well.this lasted several seconds and resulted in total lack of control at 35-45 MPH on a city street. The alternator was working providing electricity to the cars systems. As batteries frequently fail I believe this is a clear and present danger to the occupant and other vehicals on the road.this occurred on sunday october 17, 2020”
NHTSA complaint #11366141, filed 2020-10, 11,246 miles“I have had fading on the plastic around the wheel well, the heat will change to cool air while driving without anyone changing it. The A/C will go full blast on it's own and then all of a sudden change the fan speed without anyone touching it. The dealer has told me it will adjust itself by 10 degrees, never heard anything like this before. The fading part they just painted over it and that was the fix. There are lines in it now and they did not paint the entire piece so it does not look right. This car is parked inside when home, this should not happen. …”
