Example complaints

“Several occasions, I have had incidents with the ignition switch on my vehicle. I purchased it new, and the maker claims no problem with my particular vehicle, but it has kept the motor from running at times, and engine starter will engage with switch only in the on position, without turning to start. That's scary. Vehicle never did any of this while under warranty,(of course), but given the maker's track record with ignition switches, this certainly has me concerned.”

NHTSA complaint #11316316, filed 2020-03, 96,000 miles“The truck's security system and remote start stopped working. It consistently has to be reset for 10 minutes every failed attempt at trying to get the vehicle started. Have altogether stopped using the security system (which is not a good idea in an apartment complex). Now the auxiliary system still remains on if the only door used is the driver's side door. The passenger door has to be opened and closed to turn this off. This is not safe (especially when parked in a parking garage, a cold night, or parking away from a light).”
